I am an accomplished clinical psychologist with nine years of dedicated experience, recognised for a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy. My practice is anchored in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a wide array of therapeutic modalities.

I am trained in conducting neurodevelopmental assessments, specialising in Autism, ADHD, cognitive functioning, and academic achievement evaluations including giftedness. My clinical expertise encompasses a broad spectrum of mental health issues, including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, eating disorders, grief, life stress, relationship dynamics, and behavioral challenges in children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Having dedicated a large period of my clinical practice to adolescent and child mental health, I bring extensive experience and focused insight to these populations. 

Collaboration is fundamental to my practice philosophy. I collaborate closely with GPs, psychiatrists, schools, and families to deliver comprehensive, personalised care. With a professional background spanning private practices, non-profit organizations, public health settings, and international environments, I offer culturally sensitive and individually tailored interventions.

As a board-approved supervisor, I am committed to mentoring emerging therapists, fostering their clinical skills and professional growth. I am dedicated to ongoing learning and development as a clinical psychologist to continually enhance my practice and serve the community effectively.

Registered to provide services under Medicare, workers' compensation, private health funds, and the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), I accommodate both self-managed and third-party managed funding. With experience spanning Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales, and international settings, my practice benefits from a diverse and enriched perspective.

Hello there! I'm Darcy Hill, a provisional psychologist currently rounding out my internship at Equanimity Psychological Services. My journey in psychology has been deeply shaped by several enriching years spent working closely with children and adolescents with ASD and ADHD. These experiences have fueled my passion for supporting young minds through their unique challenges. I have an equal passion and enjoyment for working with adults too!

My professional path has led me to work with a diverse range of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, substance use, behavioral issues, PTSD, and more. I'm dedicated to providing evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Drawing from a variety of modalities like Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each individual I work with.

Central to my practice is creating a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe and supported on their journey towards wellness.

I have a special interest in easing ADHD challenges, and am accredited as an ADHD focused practitioner making me Equanimity Psychological Services' dedicated ADHD clinician. I'm passionate about trauma-informed care and assisting clients in navigating the challenges that come with mood-related issues during stressful periods of their lives.

I feel great privilege and joy from supporting school-aged children and teens in overcoming obstacles that hinder their academic success. By collaborating closely with schools and parents, I strive to ensure that every young person receives the comprehensive support they need to succeed.

Contact me now for an appointment for check in.

Cleo is nearly 18 months old and starting to take to her training quite well, she loves to dress up and keep warm, she is very photogenic and becomes quite exhausted after one client - she is young and has ‘cranky pants’ boundaries and we love her!

Founding Director/ Principal/ Board Approved Supervisor

Macklemore is 12 months old and loves to announce his arrival, his presence, his departure, and everyone else’s movements as well, just in case you missed something - he also likes to sing hence his name and he is a massive lap dog with ‘FOMO’ (fear of missing out) so he must be by Lexi’s side at all times.

These puppies are still in training but are learning fast and have good instincts so if you see them in clinic and would like to meet them, please let reception or Lexi know and we will guide you with how best to interact with each one ( they are very different) it is great for social skills development! If you have any issues with the k9 therapists being present or any phobias, please advise us in advance so we can manage this whilst you are in attendance in the clinic.

Laura’s full bio and picture is on it’s way. Laura starts with us in February as a Telehealth practitioner and is an amazingly caring and ethical practitioner that enjoys her profession of supporting clients passionately and even though she lives interstate - we could not let the opportunity to have her involved with our clinic pass us by. We are looking forward to Laura starting with us and bookings can be made with Laura who has a broad application of experience and training in all areas of practice as a generalist at any time while she still has some space available as I am confident she will book quickly. Laura is of course telehealth only due to her location however she does attract a health fund and/or medicare rebate and also is experienced in NDIS, Workers compensation and Assessment reporting. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask us on 02 4313 1873
