Dr Adele Storch is a senior psychiatry registrar currently in the final stage of her advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry. Since earning her medical degree from Monash University in 2014, Adele has gained diverse experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, including subspecialty clinics in Victoria and Queensland. Her clinical work spans the full range of child and youth mental health, from infancy to young adulthood, with a particular interest in perinatal and infant psychiatry, supported by her research in this area.
Adele has undertaken additional training in a range of psychodynamic and structured psychotherapies, including the “Circle of Security” and Mentalisation-Based Treatment. This allows her to utilise a combination of psychopharmacology and various psychotherapy modalities, tailored to meet the needs of each individual and their family. Adele highly values working within multidisciplinary teams, believing that collaborative effort enhances outcomes. She adopts a warm, compassionate approach, valuing the importance of understanding each person’s story within their family and environmental context.
