Dr Tony Pastore is a psychologist based in Lalor, VIC. He works from Lalor Mediplex at 6 Messmate Street, Lalor VIC 3075. Dr Pastore provides individual and group support, and he also offers cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and practical stress management strategies.
As a clinical psychologist and forensic psychologist, Dr Pastore looks after people at different stages of life, including those who may need help with both everyday mental health and more complex situations. In many cases, appointments are about getting clear support, building coping skills, and learning ways to handle stress when it feels like it’s too much.
CBT is one of the tools he uses. It can help when thoughts and worries start to run the show, or when stress is affecting sleep, work, relationships, or mood. Over time, therapy can also help people make small changes they can actually stick with. Group therapy sessions can be helpful too, especially for people who want support in a space where others understand what they’re going through.
Dr Pastore offers stress management techniques that focus on real-life habits, not just “talking about things”. Sessions can be structured but they’re still human and grounded. At times, people just need a steady place to talk, and then a clear plan for what to try next.
In terms of experience, Dr Pastore brings ongoing practice in psychological care across both clinical and forensic settings. His work is delivered in English and Italian, which can make it easier for some people to feel comfortable and understood. Education details aren’t listed publicly here, but the service is provided through qualified psychological practice.
There aren’t any research publications or clinical trial details provided as part of this service information. The focus is on therapy and support that you can use day to day.
