Dr Dan Costin
Clinical psychologist working with embodied healing through somatic psychotherapy
Welcome
Based in Melbourne/Naarm, I run a private practice in the vibrant arts precinct ofCollingwood Yards providing embodied mental health care for adults, with a focus on local creative, queer, and culturally diverse communities.
My services are informed by 20 years of clinical experience and draw from brain and body-centred approaches to help you find solid ground, navigate challenge and change, grieve, or heal from unresolved experiences that are weighing on your relationships, wellbeing, or creative process.
I also offer supervision for mental health professionals trained in body psychotherapy or Brain Reorienting.
