My best friend is a 48 year old woman who was raped repeatedly between the ages of 4 and 7. She has suffered continual long bouts of psychological depression, since a teenager that have gotten worse, more prolonged and have not responded to treatment. I have raised the money to get her prolonged psychological treatment as I think this might be the last chance for her. I need to find a female psychologist who specializes in this area, and is highly regarded for competency. Location in the general vicinity or Melbourne or Brisbane Australia (but would consider suitable person from other areas in Australia)- any advice welcome
