The Mind Project: Online Therapy for Young & Developing Minds
Tessa Prior - The Mind Project

I’m an Educational and Child Psychologist, born and raised in the Hawke’s Bay. I believe in the transformative power of genuine connections and understanding one’s journey. With a decade of experience in school and private practice, I prioritise creating a safe and empathetic space for growth and healing.

I support young people, typically aged 7-25, offering in-person sessions at home for those in Hawke’s Bay and online sessions for clients across New Zealand.

I’m a firm believer that therapy is most effective when you have the right fit with a psychologist. Whanaungatanga (connection) is at the core of my practice.
