FINDING OUR WINGS 
The practice, now known as Cocoon, was initially established  as Huon Valley Psychology in 2015, with Psychologist, Janelle Nichols working as sole therapist. Huon Valley Psychology relocated from the PCYC to Skinner Drive in 2017 and changed it's name to Cocoon in 2020. Since then we've grown into a thriving collective of local independent practitioners who enjoy offering services to our rural community.
We  are    located at 6 Skinner Drive, Huonville,    opposite Centrelink. Our premises may be familiar to locals as "the old surgery", with many  people recalling visits as a child. After breathing new life into this  building, the space continues to provide valued local and affordable mental health and wellbeing services.​
