Tianqi (Izzy) Cen

Empathetic and conscientious psychologist with a solid foundation in diverse mental health settings, including clinical, forensic, and developmental psychology.

Recent experience includes an internship at Uniting Vic Tas in partnership with Port Phillip Prison, where I honed skills in conducting alcohol and other drug (AOD) assessments, delivering group programs, and providing brief interventions and one-on-one counseling for adults, youth, and individuals with cognitive disabilities.

Previously, I conducted cognitive assessments and provided short-term interventions at the Department of Education in Seymour, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.

Passionate about supporting individuals across the lifespan, I am committed to offering culturally sensitive services, leveraging my fluency in Mandarin and English. With a keen interest in forensic and developmental psychology, I am dedicated to continuous professional development, including training in MARAM/Family Violence, AOD, and mental health. Known for excellent interpersonal skills, including active listening, empathy, and effective time management.
