Felice N. Jacka is a Psychiatrist working in Geelong, VIC, from Ryrie Street. She helps people who are dealing with mental health changes that can feel hard to manage day to day, and she also understands that stress can show up in many parts of life.
In her work, Felice looks after adults and young people with conditions such as major depression, bipolar disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and postpartum depression. She also supports people living with schizophrenia, and those who feel their mood, thoughts, or energy are not staying steady.
Felice’s clinical focus often includes eating and weight-related concerns too, like anorexia and the way mood links with issues such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. At times, people she sees may also have ongoing physical health matters, for example type 2 diabetes, and they might be trying to juggle treatment plans alongside mental health recovery.
She also works with neurodevelopmental conditions. This can include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, and the day-to-day challenges that come with them—like focus, routines, sensory overload, and feeling overwhelmed.
Over time, Felice has built experience through regular clinical work and ongoing care. She takes things at a steady pace, and in many cases helps people figure out what is driving their symptoms, what makes things worse, and what can help in real life. Appointments are usually practical, with room to talk through what has worked before and what hasn’t.
When it comes to education, Felice has completed the usual medical training and then moved into specialist psychiatric training. The goal of that pathway is simple: to help people understand what’s going on and find support that fits their situation.
Felice also stays aware of new ideas in mental health care. If relevant, she can discuss options that may be part of care pathways in Australia, including clinical trials, though specific trial involvement and research details are not always part of every patient’s plan.
If you’re in Geelong and looking for a psychiatrist who keeps things calm and grounded, Felice N. Jacka is based on Ryrie Street and is available for people who need support with mental health, mood, and related challenges.
