Our Practice
SOCAD Practice is currently serviced by three Clinical Psychologists, under the direction of Dr Rocco Crino. All clinicians have full registration with the Australian Health Practitioner
Regulation Agency and area of practice endorsement for clinical psychology. Staff also continue professional development and supervision as part of their ongoing clinical committments.
While there may be slight differences in therapeutic style between clinicians, all SOCAD clinical psychologists use cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to treat presenting concerns. CBT is the gold-standard in evidence-based treatment for psychological concerns and particularly anxiety disorders.
