Mr Joe Lewsey Psychologist

CAYA Psychology 337 Ryrie Street, Geelong, Victoria, 3220

Overview

I’m a Registered 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
