Doron Burd is a registered psychologist who specialises in providing client-focused, evidence-based therapeutic care for children, adolescents and young adults as they move through their developmental trajectory. After graduating with a Masters Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Melbourne, Doron has worked within schools, particularly within the private sector, which has fostered a deep understanding of the consistent supports children require across personal, social, home and school contexts to successfully transition into young adulthood and reach their full potential. As a result, Doron recognises the importance of collaborating with a child’s family and wider support networks where possible to foster the best possible outcomes. Doron is passionate about empowering young people with the tools they need to support positive mental health and lifelong wellbeing.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist and the founder of CAYA Psychology. I have over a decade of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families to help them feel understood, supported, and more confident. I started CAYA because I wanted to create a place where children, teens, adults, and families could feel truly supported, understood, and empowered. I see first-hand how overwhelming life can feel when you or your child are struggling, and my goal is to make therapy a safe, welcoming space where positive change is possible. I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with challenges like anxiety, depression, anger, or OCD. I have significant experience supporting neurodivergent young people, including those with ADHD and Autism. I also provide family therapy, including court-ordered therapy for families navigating separation or divorce. I take a flexible, strengths-based approach, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs and goals. Together, we figure out what works best for you—whether that’s one-on-one sessions, practical strategies, or connecting with your family or school for extra support. I am able to assist with the following types of concerns: Mental Health Issues >Depression and low mood >Anxiety and panic >Stress and worry >OCD and tics >Fears and phobias Behavioural Issues >Risk taking behaviour >Anger management >Oppositional and defiant behaviour Learning Difficulties >Developing school / TAFE / university-based accommodations >School / TAFE / university refusal and avoidance Peer relationships >Confidence >Social skills Emotional challenges >Identity and self-esteem >Personal growth Life transitions >Academic & career pressure >Work-life balance Family and Relationship Support >Reportable family and individual therapy >Non-reportable family and individual therapy
