Angelina Crea
Clincial Psychologist, MAPS

Angelina is a warm and compassionate psychologist who enjoys working collaboratively with clients with a relational and strengths-based approach. Angelina has a special interest in womens health and perinatal psychology; recognising that the perinatal period from preconception through to parenthood can be both incredibly wonderful and challenging. Angelina has worked as a Clinical Psychologist since 2011 and has experience working across both public and private mental health settings, including primary schools, and both inpatient and outpatients setting across a number of mental health services.

Angelina adopts a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Mindfulness, Soloution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Angelina is also registered with Medicare to offer non-directive pregnancy counselling. Angelina is also a Board-Approved Supervisor since 2017 and is passionate about supporting, mentoring and supervising early career psychologists.

Angelina is passionate about offering a collaborative therapeutic space; one that offers women the opportunity to reflect and find ways to relate more helpfully to themselves, others and the world; particularly in the perinatal period where there are so many changes occurring. It is important to her that women are welcomed into a space that is respectful, non-judgmental and acknowledges the diverse experiences that one brings with them as they approach a therapeutic space.

After becoming a mother herself and experiencing the transformative experience of motherhood; specifically experiencing her second pregnancy and birth during the global pandemic, Angelina recognised the importance for holistic supports for women during this period. Angelina has since immersed herself in specific therapeutic perinatal training, as well as completing specific studies in Matrescence (the transition to motherhood) and becoming a HypnoBirthing practitioner. Angelina is passionate about supporting and empowering women through all stages of their motherhood journey.

Angelina offers both face-to-face and Telehealth appointments and welcomes babies in sessions.
