Dr Dan Costin

Welcome
Based in Naarm/Melbourne, I run a private practice in the vibrant arts precinct of Collingwood Yards, providing mental health care for local creative communities.
I also offer specialised treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions, and professional development for mental health practitioners.

Beyond work, I enjoy moving with nature, studying Vietnamese language, and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
