Kim Ross, Child and Adolescent Psychologist.

Are you looking for Kim Ross, Candidate for Casuarina Ward, Casey?   Go here.

Hi, I'm Kim


I love hearing your stories and witnessing your challenges. As a neutral and passionate supporter I can share my knowledge, perspective and experience to provide you with services tailored to your child's needs and unique difficulties. 

I search for the awesome in the everyday and cultivate connections to meaningful things that spark my heart. This combination means I am multi-passionate and the twists and turns of my journey with both lived experience and professional training have led me to help children, parents, and develop initiatives such as the NEON pathway and the most recent Centre for School Anxiety.

What I do for mental health

Just like you, I experience my own difficulties and they are largely what brought me to be a psychologist and embrace  fierce self-care. The cornerstone of my self-care is a daily mindful walk around my community.  Not only is this a great form of connection, but challenges me to actively seek out the beauty in the ordinary, like  appreciating the morning dew whilst ignoring the discarded supermarket trolley.

I find meaning in my work and motherhood and connection through keeping in touch with my friends and family, being involved in peer networking, and contributing to my community through a range of volunteer activities.  When my kids were at school this involved  Parent and Friend's Committees, and School Boards.  Now you're more likely to find me being part of the Narre Warren Berwick Business Group or Mental Health Professional Networks.
Today I choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills my heart, the peace that rests within my spirit, and the voice of hope that says all things are possible.


My professional background

I am an independent psychologist.  I graduated with a Masters of Educational and Developmental Psychology from Monash University, Victoria, in 2007 and started Positive Young Minds in September 2016. 
​
I have always been a member of a psychologists professional organisation, currently the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi).  I was involved for a number of years in running and attending local Mental Health Professional Networking groups, and founded and ran the Victorian Psychologists' Networking Group for four years from May 2018.
