Dr Dan Costin

Clinical psychologist working through the body-mind relationship

Welcome

The Perry Street Building at Collingwood Yards — a brick heritage building with a large external metal staircase and a colourful geometric mural, people walking through the courtyard below.

Based in Naarm/Melbourne, I run a private practice in the vibrant arts precinct of Collingwood Yards, providing mental health care for adults with a focus on local creative communities.

I also offer specialised treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions, as well as supervision and personal sessions for mental health practitioners training in Deep Brain Reorienting®.

Therapeutic approach

My services are grounded in 20 years of clinical experience and extensive training in DBR, embodied anatomy, developmental movement, and somatic psychotherapy.
