Mikaela Stowe

Mikaela’s expertise spans several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Mikaela has a particular clinical interest in ADHD and neurodivergence, alongside anxiety disorders, perfectionism, self-confidence, and family dynamics. Her ongoing commitment to these areas is reflected in her involvement in research and professional development opportunities centred on neurodivergent-affirming practice and broader mental health and therapeutic interventions.  

 Mikaela has received clinical experience through her work at the Macquarie University Psychology Clinic, Macquarie Hospital, and the Centre for Emotional Health. Throughout these experiences, she has supported children, adolescents, and families in managing conditions such as anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and phobias. She has also worked with adult clients in inpatient mental health settings, providing a broad range of therapeutic interventions.  

In addition to her clinical work, Mikaela has tutored undergraduate psychology students at Macquarie University across a range of units, including developmental psychology, cognition, and several foundational subjects. This experience has strengthened her grounding in psychological research and theory, which continues to inform her clinical work.  

Outside of work, Mikaela enjoys outdoor activities such as running and hiking, cooking, as well as reading and spending time with her dog.
