MLA Psychology, a provider of in-home and school-based psychological services across northern Melbourne, today announced the addition of Tahlia Rahme to its clinical team. An AHPRA-registered psychologist specialising in child and adolescent mental health, Tahlia brings a neuroaffirming, evidence-informed approach to support young people who are struggling to feel understood, capable, and confident in their everyday lives.

Tahlia works with children, adolescents, and young adults across a broad range of presentations, including anxiety and school refusal, autism and neurodivergent identity, ADHD-related difficulties, emotional regulation and big feelings, low mood, social challenges, and parenting and caregiver stress. Her practice is grounded in the understanding that behaviour is often communication — and that meaningful change begins with connection.

Central to Tahlia's approach is a commitment to neuroaffirming care. Rather than asking young people to mask who they are or conform to narrow definitions of "normal," her sessions focus on understanding each young person's unique strengths, sensory profile, communication style, and emotional world. Therapy is tailored to the individual's age, goals, interests, and the environments they move through each day — whether at home, at school, or online.

"Families often come to us when a young person is withdrawing, avoiding school, or finding everyday demands harder than expected," said the MLA Psychology team. "Tahlia's approach begins with connection. She takes the time to understand the young person and their family context before shaping a path forward together."

Tahlia offers flexible support across in-home sessions and school-based appointments in selected northern Melbourne locations, as well as telehealth services available to families across Australia where clinically appropriate. She welcomes referrals through Medicare with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan, as well as NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, and private inquiries without a referral.

Families seeking support for their child or young person are encouraged to begin with a short enquiry through the Tahlia Rahme website at https://mlapsychology.com/tahliarahme/, where she will help determine whether her services may be a suitable fit.
