PSYCHOLOGY
How can a Psychologist assist?
Psychologists support children, teens and adults who are experiencing challenges with stress, mental health, relationships, life changes, or emotional wellbeing.
At Total Health Orange, our psychology team in Orange, NSW provides both assessment and therapy (treatment) services. We take a practical, supportive approach - helping you understand what’s going on and develop strategies that work in everyday life.
Treatment and counselling services
We provide psychological therapy to support people experiencing a range of concerns, including:
stress management and coping skills
relationship challenges and communication

grief and loss
family separation
school or workplace difficulties
Our team also has experience supporting people with neurodiversity and mental health conditions, including:
ADHD
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

We welcome clients who are Plan-Managed or Self-Managed NDIS participants, and Medicare rebates may be available with an appropriate GP referral (e.g., a Mental Health Treatment Plan), where eligible.
ADHD Assessments (children & teens)
At Total Health Orange, our Registered Psychologist & Teacher, Nicole Caro, provides ADHD assessments to support learning, attention and day-to-day functioning. The assessment typically includes a clinical interview with you and your child, input from your child’s school, and a range of standardised tools used to explore attention, behaviour and executive functioning (for example Conners 4, Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales, BRIEF-2, and a Mental State Examination where appropriate).
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report outlining the findings, which can help inform your GP or paediatrician around diagnosis and next steps. If you feel this assessment could support your child’s learning and academic development, we welcome you to get started below.
