About Willow Tree House
Director & founder of Willow Tree House, Elizabeth Mandich is a Registered Psychologist & Clinical Registrar with over six years of experience working with children, young people, and their families.
Before moving into private practice, Elizabeth gained valuable experience working in community health, regional schools delivering tailored mental health programs, and not-for-profit organisations, which provided her with a broad foundation in youth mental health.
Holding a Master of Clinical Psychology, Elizabeth has worked extensively with young people facing challenges such as anxiety, OCD, body-focussed repetitive behaviours (e.g.,trichotillomania), specific phobias, school avoidance, relational aggression, parental separation, and grief. Her time in private practice, headspace, and crisis support has shaped her warm, compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy.
A mother of two, Elizabeth lives on the Bellarine Peninsula, where she enjoys camping, body-boarding, baking, animals, loungeroom dance parties and gardening with her little family! She is committed to creating a safe, supportive space at Willow Tree House where children and young people feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
