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

Our Vision
MCPS was founded by Joanna Zhu. After spending many years as one of the very few Mandarin-speaking clinical psychologists in Australia, Joanna was inspired to meet a new generation of psychologists who shared a strong passion for supporting Chinese-speaking clients and communities.
With this shared vision, MCPS was established in 2015 as a place where:
Chinese psychologists can grow professionally and thrive in their careers;
Chinese clients feel understood, supported, and genuinely cared for;
Referring professionals can access trusted, culturally informed psychological services for their clients.
