Finally found a psychologist who understands the local rhythm of Portland. Dr Oberholzer helped me with my anxiety using CBT, and I’ve noticed real changes after a few sessions. The sessions felt practical and down-to-earth, which I really appreciated living by the coast here.
Very approachable and easy to talk to. I came in feeling overwhelmed, and Dr Oberholzer worked with me on strategies for managing my anxiety. The exercises fit well with my daily routine in VIC, and I’ve started sleeping better.
I booked for individual therapy and left feeling lighter. The CBT approach clicked, and the practical tools are something I can use at home in Portland. Grateful for the professional and respectful care.
We tried couples therapy through Dr Oberholzer and found our communication improves every week. He stays focused on real steps we can take, which has made a big difference for us here in rural Victoria.
As someone who prefers a straightforward approach, I appreciated Dr Oberholzer’s clear CBT guidance and anxiety management techniques. The sessions in Portland felt safe and confidential, exactly what I needed.
I’ve seen a few psychologists, but Dr Oberholzer’s calm, practical style stood out. We did a mix of individual and family-focused work, and the shifting patterns in our household are noticeable already.
Highly recommend Dr Flip Oberholzer to anyone in the Warrnambool-Portland area dealing with anxiety. English is clear, Afrikaans is an option, and the therapy sessions are tailored to what fits your life here in Victoria.
