Our Story

From little things…

Greenhouse Health Hub is a small collective of passionate and experienced clinicians working on the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, specialising in youth mental health. We specialise in working with individuals between the ages of 10 and 30 (and up to 50) who are at risk, or experiencing their first episode of mental illness. We work with a range of illnesses including, but not limited to Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Psychosis, Bipolar Affective Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorders and Complex Trauma.

We work with the young person and their family to identify the areas for growth and then agree on a recovery plan. Then we make sure our young people’s recovery is about them getting to do the things they want to do and when they want to do them.
