Roots are branches in the earth. Branches are roots in the air.

Our Vision
MCPS was founded by Joanna Zhu. After being one of the very few Mandarin speaking clinical psychologists in Australia for many years, Joanna was very excited to have met a group of younger generation psychologists who are passionate about working with Chinese speaking clients. MCPS was born in 2015 with a vision to make it a place:
For Chinese psychologists, it is where they grow and shine;
For Chinese clients, it is is where they feel understood, supported and helped;
For referring professionals, it is where they find trusted culturally informed psychological services.
