Dr. Liz Geiger
Ph.D., Columbia University. Registered Clinical Psychologist (AHPRA), member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and Australasian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA).
Dr. Liz Geiger is a clinical psychologist with over thirteen years’ experience, working across settings from private practice to hospital inpatient units. She studied at Columbia University in New York City, where she gained her doctorate.
Approach
Liz has extensive training in Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with influence from Multicultural Psychology and Feminist Theory. Integrating insight‑oriented, mindfulness and goal‑directed interventions, she tailors treatment to each client’s individual needs — a style she describes as integrative, collaborative and resilience‑focused.
Liz uses her warmth, compassion, humour, and transparency to co-lead clients through this journey. Liz pulls from her personal experience with therapy and background as a psychological researcher.
“The goal of therapy is to provide a trusting and judgment-free space to explore vulnerability and connect with our emotional experiences. Although this process can feel scary, it is a deeply rewarding process and a foundational component for growth.”
