Marie Menzies-Brown Psychologist

I am a passionate and client-centred psychologist with diverse experience providing assessment and therapeutic support to children, young people, adults, and families across Queensland’s metropolitan, regional, and remote communities. With dual Master’s qualifications in Guidance and School Counselling, and Clinical Psychology, my practice is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities including CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy, Play Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Having worked in a range of school and specialist settings, I am skilled in delivering psychometric assessments, creating individualised interventions, and collaborating closely with families, educators, and multidisciplinary teams. I am deeply committed to cultural safety, inclusion, and supporting clients facing complex trauma, neurodiversity, anxiety, learning difficulties, and social-emotional challenges. I strive to empower my clients—whether children, adolescents, adults, or families—by nurturing hope, insight, and the confidence to take positive steps towards personal growth. Together, we create meaningful pathways to resilience and lifelong wellbeing. I am thrilled to join the Zest Infusion team, where I can contribute my experience and compassion while further developing my clinical skills through the Clinical Psychology Registrar Program. I look forward to working in a collaborative, values-driven environment, supporting clients to build resilience, insight, and wellbeing as part of the Zest Infusion community. My interests include, but are not limited to working with: • Children, adolescent and adult anxiety and depression • Emotion regulation • Expressive/Art Therapy • Resilience and coping strategies • Interpersonal Difficulties • Trauma • Neurodiversity • Grief and loss • Adjustment Difficulties • Behaviour Management
