Mind Plasticity

Dr Mark Yim and Dr Jeanne Gehue have given our family hope and light through some very dark times. Mark and Jeanne understand our daughters needs and provide compassionate and highly skilled support and advice as we navigate the senior years of high school. I cannot recommend the T2 clinic highly enough. We will be forever grateful for the help and understanding we have received. Thank you. Thank you.

My wife has been under Mark Yim's care for a few years. He has been very patient during this time. Medications haven't always worked but he has continued to strive to find the one that has. He has been very inclusive of me in sessions & values my opinion.We also have the support of Brad. He has been a main stay in our lives & has helped my wife enormously.The practice is well run and I am really pleased we have access to it.

Mark and Bradley at Mind Plasticity have changed my life. I am working casually and am symptom free. All while reducing medication and doing three monthly TMS

I was a patient of Dr Mark Yim from 2017 to May 2022. Treated for ADHD, depression and anxiety.At first, nice enough, half listened but at least somewhat considered my opinion on meds. Though he did not inform me of side effects of medications before taking them and my appointments were a little rushed at 10-15 mins. He was also a little dismissive when I brought up anxiety saying “you don’t seem anxious”.Eventually (from about early 2021), Mark stopped listening to me entirely. My appointments began to cause me great anxiety as I felt I had to constantly play the role of peacemaker. I could not sleep before and after appointments because I didn’t know if he would choose that appointment to start an argument.Mark talked to my mother without asking me and during this time scheduled an appointment for me to attend with her. Dr Yim began the appointment by writing a list of my mental issues on the white board, Number 1 reading “mood swings”. As I left the appointment he said “you’re very difficult”. He called me non-compliant and accused me of abusing my Ritalin with no basis. He refused to see me without my mum even though I was an adult the whole time I was his patient. At any sign of disagreement, he would threaten to discharge me as a patient, knowing I could not afford another psychiatrist. I am still baffled as to why I was treated like a non-compliant child. I was a polite patient, didn’t miss appointments, made lists for each appointment and tried my best to stick to the medications as prescribed.Medication wise, I never had a proper trial of standard meds like SSRIs. During 2021 Dr Yim put me on weird new meds like Brintellix and Valdoxan, both of which I tried for months. He told me to keep taking them when I said they didn’t work and ignored my side effects such as severe nausea.Dr Yim also cancelled my Ritalin script, without my knowledge, right before my exams. I became aware of this when the pharmacy informed me that the script had been ceased by the prescriber. During my last appointment when I asked Mark “why did you cancel my Ritalin script?” he said “I told you last appointment, don’t you remember?”. However, when I brought up the fact that I had emailed him earlier asking if he had cancelled my script and he replied “No” he shifted to saying that he never cancelled my script. He turned it into an argument, almost yelling at me, while I repeatedly said “its ok I don’t want an argument”. He accused me of not trusting him and also arrogantly reminded me that he was in high demand.I really did not expect much as a bulk billed patient and would have been happy with a standard 10 minute appointment every 6 months. Trying to be helpful I even suggestedThat a GP could monitor my medications except Ritalin which he dismissed.

We were extremely blessed to have Dr. Mark Yim recommended to us, he was kind, clear, supportive and his expertise in assisting us as a family and our Child through their trauma was a divine intervention in many ways.We were able to understand the complexities of mental stress, anxieties and the impact of trauma. He was able to guide and treat our child with professionalism, care, non judgement, and kindness. We also were supported by Jeanie at Mind plasticity, always with a smile and warmth, the Sun on our cloudy days. Thank you Mark and Jeanie

Terrible experience here, specifically with Dr. Babidge. Have been in a terrible mental health/executive dysfunction crisis since April (I thought it was from May but medical documents prove otherwise) And after waiting months for my appointment to be finally assessed properly by an actual psychiatrist I left with nothing even close to the sort; only a script for a medication which could potentially cause me to go into a manic state, as well as an increase in medication that likely sent me into a manic state when I first started taking it. I walked out of the office in total shock at the total lack of any further questioning or investigation especially in areas you’d think to investigate and I’m not even a trained psych- such as when a client says that “since childhood they’ve never felt normal or that depression and anxiety as stated by gp’s has properly fit or explained my symptoms”. And all this for a huge fee of $500, and months of waiting for zero actual psychiatric assessment (when I could have seen someone else who cares enough about first time clients to actually dig deeper and properly know how to/know what to ask in terms of relevant questions and follow up from what the client discloses). I will be making a complaint to hccc and ahpra regarding the assessment/treatment (or total lack of) received by this doctor as I feel that the audacity in trying to charge someone half a grand for an entire and total non assessment, nil investigation is entirely and absolutely unethical, immoral, disgusting and taking advantage of/making life much harder for some of the most marginalised people in society.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Mark Yim for about 5 years now. It’s taken me over 30 years to find a practitioner who actually listens to me. Mark has worked so hard to find a treatment regime that works best for me and we have found a great baseline to work off. Unfortunately my condition can and does alter at times whether on its own or environmentally. When that does happen I can always depend on Mark to change, tweak or add/subtract from my treatment plan.Having an unpredictable condition is a lot easier to cope with when you have someone so knowledgeable and that genuinely cares.I wish there were more doctors like Mark who care and listened. My life would have been so much easier to cope with if I’d found the right support earlier.Thank you Mark

Dr Mark Yim and the entire Mind Plasticity staff have been amazing they have made an enormous improvement to my daughter’s life. And we are truly grateful for all he has done.

They refused to even see me just because I have A.D.D!!! What kind of mental health service is this. I have been in and out of the mental health system since I was a kid and have never been refused for something so ridiculous

Dont bother! Called up last week to get into see a psychiatrist after reading good reviews. Was told by reception to get a referral and email it through and they will be intouch. Went through the process with my GP, which also wasn't free. To be called and told sorry we only have 1 Dr taking on new patients 1 day a week and he has REJECTED" your referral. Big waste of my time and certainly not professional
