About us
Think Mental Health
Think Mental Health (previously Think Psychology Solutions) was founded in November 2011 by Canberra psychologists, Vanessa Hamilton and Jason McCrae. At the time, clinical psychologists were mostly private practitioners working independently in Canberra. Vanessa and Jason were looking for ways they could establish a clinic where they could work together to better support Canberrans living with mental illness and share evidence-based therapies, in a team environment.
In the early days, Think Mental Health (TMH) was a psychology service and collaboration started with simple ideas such as a common lunch hour, monthly supervision meetings and regular team education days, to learn from each other. Today, the organisation has evolved to include a wide range of services by listening to community demand and partnering with like-minded professionals to expand and adapt the range of services provided under the Think umbrella.
