Specialties

Sue Stern & Associates is a psychology practice in Harris Park, Sydney, dedicated to helping people find their way towards a happier, healthier more fulfilling life. With a focus on family dynamics, chronic neuropathic pain and illness, eating disorders and Neurofeedback Therapy, Sue Stern & Associates draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques and often utilises a combination of therapies to reach better outcomes for clients.

Sue Stern has worked in Sydney as a Psychologist for over 25 years and her experience encompasses a broad range of areas. Beginning her career working within the corporate sector as an Organisational Psychologist, she then moved into private practice, drawing this experience to assist people through the trauma of work injury and navigating the Worker's Compensation system.

While Sue and her colleagues cover the full range of conditions that typically present to a psychology practice, over the last 10 years, Sue has put much of her passion and energy into developing a Chronic Pain Clinic within the practice. This grew as result of her commitment to working with sufferers of chronic neuropathic pain disorders and her interest in assisting injured workers find their way back into the work workforce.

Over the past 5 years Sue has added Neurofeedback to her practice to treat a wide range of symptoms including but not limited to depression and anxiety, childhood learning difficulties, ADD/ADHD in both children and adults, sleep disturbance, mood swings and chronic pain.

Neurofeedback has also become popular as a form of peak-performance training for athletes, HSC students, and top management who need to sharpen their cognitive function for enhanced performance.
