Building Minds Psychology

Building Minds Psychology, on Mount Eden Road, is a private mental health practice founded by Dr Camilla Nguyen in 2019, giving Mount Eden families specialised, psychology-led support for children, young people, adults and their whānau.

What Building Minds Psychology offers Mount Eden families

The practice’s team includes clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, a paediatrician, therapists and a counsellor, working together to provide personalised care across therapy, counselling, and mental health and neurodiversity assessments, including ADHD, autism and speech problems. Speech and language therapy is also available alongside the psychology-led services, giving families a single practice covering a wide range of a child’s developmental and emotional needs.

Building Minds describes its own environment as neurodiverse-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and specialises in a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to suit different needs, from anxiety and self-esteem through to stress and trauma. GP referrals are not required, with self-referrals accepted directly, and referrals from GPs and other allied professionals can also be made by email.

Visiting Building Minds Psychology

The practice is open today from 8am to 6pm, closed on major public holidays. Street parking is available outside the clinic on Mt Eden Road, though this becomes bus lane only between 4pm and 7pm, with further parking available on nearby streets.

Given its position on Mount Eden Road, families can combine an appointment with other errands in the wider village area.

Families who suspect a child may be autistic or have ADHD but are unsure where to start often find a single practice offering both assessment and ongoing therapy under one roof removes a significant amount of coordination compared with seeing separate specialists.

Given the practice’s own inclusive, affirming approach, LGBTQIA+ families and those with a child who identifies outside typical gender norms may find the environment especially welcoming compared with a more traditional clinical setting.

Families are encouraged to enquire directly about current wait times, since a well regarded specialist practice like this one can have limited availability for new assessments.
