R U OK Day

We would like to welcome our new Psychologist, Robert Rusanow. Robert will be accepting Bulk-Billing clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

1. What made you get into the field that you are currently in?

Well… I’ve always found psychology really interesting… and the idea that that work could actually be something I love and be rewarding, and meaningful… and, you know, have a positive impact on others really appealed to me.

2. What are your hobbies?

Oh, well I really I like bushwalking and being out in nature. And, umm… Mountain climbing has always been a hobby of mine. I enjoy playing computer games, reading sci-fi novels, and watching sci-fi movies… I really like sci-fi!

3. What’s the best advice you were ever given and by whom?

Gosh, I actually can’t remember who told me this… But, yeah someone once pointed out to me that there are no mistakes in life, just opportunities to learn. I really agree with this! I think we just do what we can with what we have at the time… And, then, you know, it’s not helpful to judge that. Like, all we can do is learn from it and maybe do things differently next time.

4. What energizes you outside of work?

Definitely my morning coffee! But, um, I usually feel energised after doing a bit of exercise or working out… And, I usually feel pretty energised when I’m learning something new.

5. What’s your favourite holiday?

Well, I’ve holidayed in South East Asia, so Borneo, Malaysia, and Thailand… And I really loved the jungle, and the culture… ohh, and the food, and just the lifestyle is great there. Right now though… I think… I would actually like to see more of Australia.

6. What motivates you at work?

Easy! My work. So, seeing clients! I really enjoy meeting and getting to know, and supporting people who want a helping hand… Like I said, it’s a rewarding and meaningful way of work for me. So yeah… It really keeps me motivated and excited, you know.

7. How would your friends describe you?

Well, most of them think I’m a “good listener”… They seem to think I have a “gentle and calm nature” (using their words)… That I’m a bit of a “nerd”, which is very accurate… And that I’m “easy to talk to”.

8. Do you have a favourite sports team?

Ha! Actually, I don’t follow sport… I did support the “Bombers”, that’s AFL, when I was a young fella living in Victoria… But I don’t really keep up with that anymore.

9. What three items would you take with you to a deserted island?

Tough! This would probably change every time you ask me… But right now… I think I would want a friend to hang out with, a hammock… well can I have two? One for me and one for my friend? Ohh, and music for sure!

10. If you could choose a superpower, what would it be and why?

Okay… Well, um… Just to see the truth of things and be okay with it, you know. I think that would be really helpful and make for a happy life… maybe, haha, it could back fire though I suppose.

If you would like to book an in-clinic or telehealth appointment with Rob, call 0439 554 058.

Food and sleep are what energizes her outside work, and her favorite holiday is anywhere with a beach.

The best advice she's been given?
"It doesn't kill you to say hello or be polite."

What would she take with her to a deserted island?
Chicken nuggets, a football, and a pillow.

Her chosen superpower: Reading minds - she likes to know what's going on.

Meet Nick Cherrie, one of our Psychologists at our Parramatta clinic!

1. What made you get into the field that you are currently in?

Before I did this job, I served in the military and saw quite a lot of mental health issues. I wanted to, I guess, help people who were dealing with things that they didn’t fully understand.

2. What are your hobbies?

I go to gym, play guitar, listen to a lot of music. I read a lot.

3. What’s the best advice you were ever given and by whom?

The only easy day is yesterday.

4. What energizes you outside of work?

Ah, introversion / extroversion question! Spending time with my friends. Spending time with people that I care about.

5. What’s your favourite holiday?

Snowboarding. Easily.

6. What motivates you at work?

So, what motivates me is when a client gets something out of what I tell them, when they say, “That was really helpful!” or when they say that they really benefitted from what I said, or they just say that it was so good to be able to talk to someone. It’s what makes this job worth it.

7. How would your friends describe you?

Haha! Very serious.

8. Do you have a favourite sports team?

Nah, I don’t really follow sport.

9. What three items would you take with you to a deserted island?

A deserted island? I’d take a hammock, a couple bottles of rum and a good attitude!

10. If you could choose a superpower, what would it be and why?

I would want to be able to speak any language, so that it could facilitate me as a communicator.

Wishing you and your families all a Happy Easter! Have fun, make memories and stay safe!

We'll be introducing our Logic Lounge team to you over our social media with a fun questionnaire, starting with one of our newest additions to the team, Marya Setrak, a Provisional Psychologist at our Parramatta clinic.

1. What made you get into the field that you are currently in?

Well, I grew up in a rural country town called Parkes in New South Wales, so a lot of mental health was kind of limited out there, so I guess my passion came from there… wanting to make it more accessible.

2. What are your hobbies?

I go to the gym four nights a week. I am into weightlifting, a bit of a gym freak, and also hanging out with family and friends. I have my little cousins which I happen to call my nieces and nephews, although they’re not my nieces and nephews, but I play around with them, and I enjoy that.

3. What’s the best advice you were ever given and by whom?

Well, an old friend once said to me, “If you can do something in five minutes, do it immediately.”

4. What energizes you outside of work?

Exercise and Coffee!

5. What’s your favourite holiday?

Probably anywhere relaxing, with light, clear waters. Is it stereotypical to say Maldives?

6. What motivates you at work?

Just seeing my clients grow, becoming independent and progressing throughout treatment.

7. How would your friends describe you?

Well, I actually asked my friends this morning as I was going to describe myself as helpful, and this is what they wrote: Very intelligent, honest and ambitious.

8. Do you have a favourite sports team?

Um, I don’t have a favourite sports team, but I do enjoy watching the Australian Open and Nadal is my favourite player. I also watch the World Cup and the Asia cup, but I don’t have a favourite team.

9. What three items would you take with you to a deserted island?

Oh, no! I hate this question! Um, probably my phone, my twin sister… I’d probably take her… and weights.

10. If you could choose a superpower, what would it be and why?

Ah, that one is easy. I’ll say teleportation. Just to kind of cut down on travel time, because you can’t buy time with money.

Meet Sasha, our new client at Hornsby. Seems like Sasha is feeling a little blue - thankfully our wonderful psychologist Leslie Spitz is there to lend an ear.
Everyone feels down from time to time (even dogs 😄). The important thing is to seek help when you need it.
