Our thoughts create actions, reactions and alter biochemistry in our bodies – it’s not to be underestimated!

Our caring and professional Psychologists can assist in providing a clearer understanding and an unbiased perspective on issues that can be difficult to deal with alone. We understand that the needs of each person are unique and that each journey is different.

The atmosphere at Medical on Miami is friendly, welcoming, honest and intimate. We treat everyone with respect, consideration and care. Everyone is welcome and should feel welcomed.

David Neophyton, Psychologist

Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy soul. We are not born with a set of instructions to navigate the changing stressors in our lives, or cope with significant traumas we may experience. What we can do is be heard and learn how to cope and soon find some joy. Psychologists are just the people who have this ‘instruction manual’. David is trained in the art of truly listening and offers ideas and methods we could never dream about, particularly when we are in crisis. Having been practising on the Gold Coast for over 25 years, David is embedded in the community. He has 3 children, loves to travel and is in constant pursuit of happiness.
