Child/Teen
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Children and adolescents often express distress through behaviour rather than words. My work focuses on understanding these responses as adaptive ways of coping with underlying experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach and a focus on how young people learn to adapt to feel safe, I support both the child and their caregivers in creating greater understanding, regulation, and connection.

Johannesburg is South Africa's economic powerhouse, where the mental health landscape is deeply shaped by high levels of crime and safety anxiety, significant economic inequality, and the ongoing psychological weight of apartheid's legacy. A well-developed private therapy sector is concentrated in the northern suburbs—Sandton, Rosebank, Melrose Arch, and Parkhurst—serving professionals, executives, and an international expat community. Demand is high for therapy addressing trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and workplace stress, with many practitioners also specialising in race, identity, and cultural adjustment. Public mental health services are strained, so most residents seeking therapy engage with private practitioners or through employer assistance programmes.
