Dr Dan Costin
Clinical Psychologist
Welcome
Based in Naarm/Melbourne, I run a private practice in Collingwood Yards arts precinct, providing mental health care for adults with a focus on creative, queer and culturally diverse communities.
I also accept referrals through Bupa ADF Health Services and provide professional development for mental health practitioners who share an interest in the body-mind relationship.
Experience
My services are grounded in 20 years of clinical experience and extensive training in Deep Brain Reorienting, embodied anatomy, developmental movement and somatic psychotherapy.
I established my private practice in 2008 and have also worked in university and community-based settings including the Victorian College of the Arts, the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and Thorne Harbour Health, where I volunteered as an LGBTIQA+ peer counsellor.

I also have a developing connection to Southeast Asia through my partner Chung (he/they) and have been studying Vietnamese language since 2019.
