About Us

Garden Grove Clinic

Garden Grove Clinic

Garden Grove Clinic provides care for a wide range of psychological symptoms in young people, adults and older persons. We believe in listening carefully to our patients, asking questions to expand our understanding of the situation, and working on a treatment plan together. Treatments are often a combination of counselling and medication, and are always built upon a good therapeutic relationship.

Taking care of our mental wellbeing by seeking necessary help is about being brave and  kind to yourself. We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic, and we will walk with you through the ups and downs of recovery.

We are a small independent clinic, and we operate at 2 sites: Joo Chiat Road and Mount Alvernia Medical Centre
