Best Mental Health Services Sunshine Coast Near Me

Anthony Brown: Amazing staff. And great new building. They really do their best considering their difficult jobs.

Erin Evans: I am walking, talking proof that this team can change your life! It’s absolutely worth joining the waitlist for an appointment.I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for two exceptional psychiatrists at Cooinda - both Dr Illesinghe and Dr Moss have given me the care and guidance to excel in my career and build relationships in a way I never thought possible.I also owe my success to psychologist Dr Human and highly recommend his knowledge in treating severe ADHD in adults.I am forever grateful.

Ali C: Excellent service and staff. Very professional and helpful

Lesley Garner: I recently spent 3 weeks at Cooinda and was discharged a different person. The group facilitators and the DBT content was enlightening and life changing for me. All the nurses were kind and gentle and were so obviously trained in mental health. The ancillary team were also fantastic, always considerate and quiet and the food was plentiful and delicious……probably too much of it according to my scales when I got home. I could not fault anyone, each and everyone of the Cooinda team played a significant role in my recovery. Thank you 🙏

Matt Cowley: I’ve been both an inpatient and outpatient here. My experiences have been very positive. Fantastic facilities and authentic staff. Highly rated.

Baden Kidd: Great place saved. My life, nurses are fantastic, food is terrific and the atmosphere is amazing, thank you.

sam cowlishaw: I have been fortunate enough to have used this facility a couple of times and some of these reviews are extremely incorrect in my opinion. This facility treats people who may at times get easily confused so reviews need to be read according. My experience is you would not find a nicer receptionist in the world. The facility is new with all facilities you would require. The doctors are amazing. The food is extremely good with a selection of salads and desserts. The kitchen open 24 hours with fruit ,biscuits,coffee and a fridge full of drinks. Lovely gardens and outdoor areas to rest and relax. Exercise and education classes which are very beneficial. Games ,TV and family rooms for visitors. Nursing staff who are amazing especially Julie and Christine. Medication is given efficiently. The hospital is set amongst a peaceful relaxing environment besides a rainforest. My only fault is they would not let me stay longer. I would highly recommend.

Roop San: Dr Khal Alsae takes the time to listen to you and work with you holistically. He has helped me tremendously

Sam: An excellent tailored program that was very specific in dealing with my anxiety and super active nervous system. I gained a very clear understanding of how I had reached this point with the help and assistance of the very talented and professional psychotherapists.With cutting edge therapy techniques and practices I have been able to start myself back on the path I have longed for many years.Through the Goodsky program I can say I have never been so calm and present and now living life again to the fullest.

Cara Carter: Beyond grateful for Goodsky. Incredible support, incredible range of modalities to support individuals and a seriously life changing experience. I wish I had found such an incredible opportunity 20 years ago. Thank you , each of you x

Lucy Aspray: My 18 year old daughter entered the Goodsky programme in November 2022. She has a long history of mental health issues related to trauma and is on the autism spectrum. Traditional talk therapies and skills training such as CBT did not work for her so we sought a different approach. Goodsky understand that traditional therapies rarely work for trauma and use a ‘bottom up’ approach to treat, utilising a variety of different, modern, evidence based modalities. The staff and therapists were amazing - knowledgeable, caring and understanding. My daughter received a completely individualised treatment plan. She gained new skills and processed a lot of her trauma through non talk therapies in the residential stage of the programme and has worked hard to integrate allelements in the out patient stage of the programme. Her mental health has improved drastically, she attends Uni full time and works in retail and has been able to successfully rebuild her life. She is still building on skills to keep herself healthy, but we feel safe knowing we have the Team at Goodsky to reach out to if needed. Highly recommend.

Eliza: Goodsky outpatient program for severe insomnia.It was devastating and frightening when our fit, active, school-loving 16-year-old son suddenly became physically and psychologically unwell early in 2022.He transitioned from competing in his sport every weekend, earning his bronze Duke of Ed, barely missing any school with A grades across the board and socialising with several different friendship groups, to being unable to do anything. He was in so much physical and emotional pain that some days, he would scream for hours on end and not move.We began by navigating the 'traditional' medical route of GPs and psychologists. We knew the system was overburdened and broken before the pandemic, but now we discovered it was almost nonfunctional.Getting an appointment was near impossible. No one offered to do any testing or even have a proper conversation about our options or what was potentially occurring. Instead, they gave us a number for a hotline to call if we were concerned about his physical safety from self-harm. One GP referred us to a specialist that would have taken 6-9 months to see. I had to point out that our son would not be here in 6 months if we did nothing before then.Thankfully a friend had been through a similar journey with her two daughters and gave Goodsky a call for me.They were kind, understanding, and caring. They listened, had seen similar situations before and offered a whole body and mind approach to healing our son. The most significant part of these early stages was that they gave us hope. We can do something. He was not broken. At this stage we did not know how well he could return to his everyday life.A team of practitioners developed a custom plan based on their expertise to get the most effective results for him. From gut health, to physical health and to brain rewiring through breakthrough technology. When someone is unwell, travelling or attending appointments is difficult. They found as many practitioners as possible, either locally or online. They involved us in all the planning and worked together, so we all learned so much, especially my son. He is now in tune with his mental and physical body and knows to listen and look for signs.They check in and reassess regularly. They are willing to change plans where things are not working and have the client's best interests in mind at all times. I hate to think about where my son would be now and in the future without the Goodsky program. We were on a precipice of some terrifying outcomes. Goodsky helped pull my son back from the edge and gave him his life back.He is again competing in his sport. He is the junior representative for his local sporting club and has played an integral part in planning and building facilities for the community. He has only missed a few school days this year, is doing well in all subjects and is working towards his silver Duke of Ed. When we see friends who know where our son was last year, they are blown away at how far he has come, as are we.He still has prescription medications as crutches. However, they are minimal, and now that his body is strong again, I am hopeful, with the help of Goodsky, he will be able to work towards getting off them once his confidence in himself to stay well returns.

Melanie Newell: Goodsky was a great service and support in a time of need. Very holistic approach and client centred. We liked that the programs and intervention were built around the needs of the client and their circumstances rather than using the one box approach for each individual. It was great that family who wanted to be involved were also supported as part of the process.

Nora Fatayerji: Good sky has a team of fantastic professionals who have dramatically helped complex patients suffering from life long trauma, depression and anxiety. We have seen the results and appreciate the deep analysis and treatments customised to suit the patients needs. Greg has supported many of our patients and we are so happy to see see such profound outcomes accomplished. Nora Fatayerji

Alice Atkins: After years of no answers and feeling like I wasn’t being heard within the medical industry, I found Goodsky, and my goodness, what a find! Greg and his team listened and made action from the second I reached out. Their tailored approach to my programme was something I had never come across and I was blown away by the depth and understanding the programme provided me. If you are looking at getting to the root cause of whatever you’re going through- Goodsky is the place for you . Yes it’s expensive and yes it’s scary to jump into the unknown, but the team look after you like you are one of their own. No stone is unturned.I couldnt recommend Goodsky enough.

Brittany Hall: The entire Goodsky team are incredible! Highly passionate, professional and caring team. Would highly recommend

The team at Goodsky provide some of the most trained health professionals, i have personally seen the outcome of many patients and the transformation and recovery is incredible. Highly recommend!!!

Laura Baker: I really want to Thank Greg at Goodsky for the professional and caring support he has given my husband and I in giving us options with how to deal with PTSD.I have been dealing with PTSD for years and recently had a Stellate Ganglion Block which I found gave me calmness I had not experienced in a very long time.My children have even noticed how it helped me not to be so reactive and stressed about what seemed like simple things.I really feel Goodsky are genuine in wanting to help people feel better.Thankyou Greg

Mike Shakes: The Goodsky Health Retreat for myself was life changing.The program is not general but designed specifically to your needs and challenges .The service was second to none so a big thank you to all the team

Taylor Giddings: I can highly recommend Goodsky Mental Health Retreat.The communication my family received was outstanding, no question was too big or small. The results our family member achieved was more then we could have ever hoped for. This program works and changes lives for the better.

Lucie Ellis: who offered comprehensive assistance to people experiencing long term anxiety and depression, I finally decided to work with Goodsky. I felt that the other options, although providing serene environments and a calming escape, didn't have the sheer volume of variety and extensive network of allied providers. Goodsky promised a teamwork of professionals all collaborating to bring you to the other side of whatever challenges you were facing. I can 100% agree that this is exactly what they did for me. When I heard the costing I was extremely reluctant, but then I sat and did some calculations of what seeing this collection of professionals would cost me if i sought them out myself.Mind you, I would probably NEVER have sought out some of the therapies - they weren't even on my radar.Having one pivotal person orchestrating my healthcare and keeping track of my progress meant that the whole program ran really smoothly. I felt supported the whole way through my program and even afterwards, and i feel like they have put me in contact with some really amazing practitioners, some of who I choose to continue to see simply because of the success I have experienced with their work.Prior to this, I have stumbled from one GP to the next, trialling different types of medication, trying various forms of talk therapy and honestly had little to no change. I spent so much money doing all of this, and achieving very little.I am on the other side now, feeling the brightest I have in some 5 years. I still have the same life challenges, but I have discovered a whole new way of working with what I have. I look forward to my life now, and I can see a bright future - I could not have said this a year ago.I have told so many people about Goodsky - I am thrilled with their services. If you are finding yourself at the end of your bandwith

Kahla Bramich: The team at Goodsky are amazing. After personally struggling with depression and anxiety for over a decade, trying countless professionals and medications-knowing deep down that any relief was a bandaid rather than getting to what was causing my symptoms. Goodsky’s holistic approach got to the bottom of why my symptoms kept returning.I can’t thank the team enough for giving me my life back.

Pip Schmidt: A wonderful program that helped our child immensely.

Ruth Furber: and be willing to face your demons whatever it takes, you can shift your current state but it takes you to take the first step towards it, they will not let you down and you will not know yourself after you’ve done it.

Anine Gough: This place taught me amazing insight to my life and strategies to create a more positive life path. The tools I learnt here I still use today over 8 years later.I highly recommend 💚

Lauryn McMillan: I went to The Health Retreat back in 2017 and it honestly changed my life. I could not fault any part of it at all. I absolutely loved it.I will be returning in the next few weeks if not earlier. I highly recommend! 11/10!

AmerieCkle: I am blessed to have returned to The Health Retreat as an employee and have witnessed time and again the extraordinarily consistent transformation of the most courageous and diverse souls as a result of The Health Retreats uniquely wholistic approach to addictions, depression and anxiety. And like everything in life you get back what you put in, apply or don’t apply.I personally could not work in this environment, with professionals who were unethical in any way or irresponsible in the delivery of support to people at their most vulnerable.I have enormous respect to Carol, Francis, Clint and now Hudson for providing such a wholesome and healing space for their incredible team of professionals to deliver a program with lifelong support to ensure maximum outcomes for each and every client.Special mention to Ozzie & Olive 🐾 they are stars too 🙌🏼

Ruby Hill: The health retreat has been a life changer! The staff were so happy and helpful, very supportive and continued to show their support after the program. I couldn’t be more grateful for what I’ve learn’t at the retreat and the people I’ve meet on the journey. If you are considering to get help and don’t know where to go, honestly the health retreat is best place to reset your way of thinking, get professional help and be around beautiful support that actually care about your well-being!!

Harry Robertson: Faculties are amazing, and therapy was great. Amazing staff.

Gabby Mcdonald: The Health Retreat is the most most beautiful and positive environment possible. Saliva, Matt, Ange, Clare, Rebecca and Tennelle are truly amazing. A place where real change takes place!

Kiara Reimann: Healing in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I cannot thank my parents enough for their support and sending me to this retreat. and the Health retreat for helping me to cope with my anxiety and realise I am worth it and that I can live a better life. This was the best experience of my life. I met some amazing people who will remain life long friends forever. From games nights to sitting around a fire and just being able to talk about anything and everything with these amazing people and watching everyone grow from the first day to their last was such an amazing experience. met some bloody cute dogs Ozzie and Olive and ate the best food. Also got to see some beautiful sights that I will definitely visit again. All the staff, cooks, counsellors, Clare, Salima, Bonnie, Rebecca, Veronica, Wes, Flick, Angela, Gabbi, Jen, Karen, Matt, Lyn and Carol and Francis and Clint and Hunter and many more of the beautiful staff were beyond lovely, and at the end of the month felt like family I cannot thank them all enough for saving my life 💖💗 I am so grateful and have found so much self love during my time at the Health retreat. I highly recommend the health retreat for anyone who is struggling or just needs a little help to live their best life. The health retreat saved my life and it will always be a second home to me 💖

Elliott Milner: Not only is this a beautiful tranquil location the real magic is delivered by the selfless caring none judgemental people that work there. The people here have helped people close to me and made a life changing difference. Highly recommend!!!

Jacinta Dorante: The health retreat is heaven on earth. I cannot express in words just how much I have learnt, grown and evolved since having the pleasure of staying here. The holistic approach towards mental health really teaches you the anatomy of the human brain. Which is what each of us need to learn to live with each day. I have used my first hand experience of mental ill-health to successfully complete a Certificate IV in mental health and dedicate my life to helping others. I never would of completed my course if it weren’t for The health retreats care and support. For this I am forever grateful. Since I was here as a client in January 2021 I have done nothing but achieved my goals. I’m not perfect, I am only human and I have had a few relapses, but Now I see a bright future ahead of me and always continue to move forward no matter what. The painful past I’ve had is nothing but a life lesson and without that pain I wouldn’t be the person that I am today. Without that pain I never would of known that I wanted a career in mental health. I have learnt to turn the pain of my past into power, as if it is just another life skill. To be able to know that you have walked different paths of life. The more experience I have - good or bad. The closer I am to finding out who I really am. Sometimes you gotta try things to know whether you like it It’s the same principle. Of course no one chooses mental ill-health though. It’s true what they say: you can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Becoming spiritual has been a big factor in my journey of recovery. It has taught me to take care of every part of my being and has made me learn and be aware of my feelings and triggers. Which to me is how mental ill-health starts. Having a lot of emotions/feelings that has been gone unnoticed for some time. If humans didn’t have feelings we would not know love. Our feelings just need to be cared for and respected by ourselves. If we don’t speak up when we are uncomfortable we loose our voice and over time slowly loose ourselves. Our mental health is the most important thing. We must maintain our sanity in a fast and changing world. Make a stand. Speak up and get support when you need it. Why fit in when you can stand out. Stigma comes from the uneducated that don’t understand mental health. To me they are so far behind in the world. Don’t let that make you feel like your different. Be kind to your mind. Embrace your life experiences and allow it to make you a stronger person. By doing that we can break the stigma together.Peace • Love • Light

Justin Quinn: The program that underpins the teachings at The Health Retreat is a common sense approach to dealing with many of hurdles that we may all face in our everyday lives and is presented in a format that is easy to understand and implement into your life.The location and facilities make The Health Retreat the ideal place to be able to get away from the hustle & bustle of your everyday life and focus on your journey to becoming your BEST YOU.If you are at this point of reading reviews all I can say is YOU owe it to YOURSELF to take the next step and pick up the phone and call The Health Retreat and talk to these amazing people about how they can help.Plus Francis's jokes are...you will have to call to find out or ask Carol to get the final answer, lol.YOU owe it to YOURSELF.

Brett Snodgrass: I honestly didn't think that I could change from the person I used to be in such a short period of time, but honestly this has been the best thing I've ever done in my life. The health retreat has saved me from the darkest place I've ever been in my life, my addictions have controlled my life for so long and caused me nothing but more pain then i could of ever imagined. But its thanks to the health retreat and all the amazing staff that I have been able to deal with all the pain and hurt and come out of this stronger and happier then I've ever been before. I have had so much support from every single person that works here and honestly without their kindness, understanding and support I wouldn't be the man I am today. Its such an amazing feeling being able to actually forgive myself and find out that real happiness isn't impossible and that there are actually genuinely good people in this world. I can't even come close to thanking you all for the gift that this place has given me. This will forever be the place that saved my life and im so grateful I have been given this opportunity! Thank you all so so much for everything!
