Dr Mohsen Mirzaie

Dr Mohsen Mirzaie is an Australian-trained Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience working across both public and private mental health services. He spent over 15 years in the public sector, where he held senior positions including Senior Staff Specialist at Royal North Shore Community Health Centre and Staff Specialist with the Outreach Service for Children and Adolescents in Northern Sydney. During this time, he was actively involved in teaching and mentoring psychiatry registrars and advance trainees—something he remains passionate about today. He also has been working as a private consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist since 2013 both in outpatient setting and as a Visiting Medical Officer at Northside Clinic.

In 2017, Dr Mirzaie established Family Talks Clinic, where he has since focused on providing personalised, family-centred psychiatric care. Since transitioning fully into private practice in 2022, he has dedicated his time to supporting young people and their families through flexible and collaborative care. Alongside his clinical work, he continues to supervise early-career psychiatrists entering private practice, as well as medical students training to become GPs. He also works as an independent medical expert providing evidence to court for medical negligence cases.

Dr Mirzaie’s approach is holistic and grounded in the belief that understanding a young person requires understanding their family, culture, and life experiences. For more than a decade, he has worked closely with Professor Maurizio Andolfi, a world leader in family therapy, and integrates this systemic perspective into his clinical work.

He provides comprehensive psychiatric assessment and treatment for children and adolescents aged 6 to 18, and, in certain cases, young adults. His areas of interest include ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, emotional dysregulation, eating disorders, and high-functioning autism. Families often describe Dr Mirzaie as calm, compassionate, and thoughtful, with a reassuring ability to navigate complex challenges with care and clarity.
