Goodsky Mental Health Retreat

What Goodsky Mental Health Retreat does

Goodsky Mental Health Retreat is an Australian private mental health services company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Marcoola, Queensland, that delivers treatment for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and nervous system dysregulation in adults and adolescents. The company operates four core programmes: a Depression & Anxiety Retreat, a PTSD & Trauma Retreat, a Teen Mental Health Retreat (with mandatory parent participation), and an Outpatient Mental Health Programme delivered via telehealth across Australia and New Zealand or in-person on the Sunshine Coast. Residential retreats are delivered at the Atlantis Marcoola Beachfront Resort on the Sunshine Coast, typically running approximately 21 days as all-inclusive immersive stays with private accommodation, chef meals, and dedicated multidisciplinary teams; the outpatient programme operates on a recurring subscription model for clients who manage their own accommodation and transport.

The company's underlying methodology is a proprietary "bottom-up processing" approach that works with the body's sensations, emotions, and implicit memories alongside conventional modalities such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, brainspotting, art therapy, behavioural naturopathy, functional pathology testing (gut microbiome, hormones, genetics, nutrition, inflammatory markers), and adjunctive neurotechnology including WAVi evoked EEG brain measurement and QEEG neurofeedback. Every programme is delivered one-on-one with no group components, supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team including psychotherapists, behavioural naturopaths, exercise physiologists, and case managers. The company is co-founded by Greg Doney (author of "Healing Trauma at a Cellular Level") and operates as a privately held, founder-led business with 11–50 employees.

The go-to-market is consultative and B2C, relying on self-assessment tools (DASS-21, PCL-5, ACE), an extensive Knowledge Hub of educational content, healthcare professional referrals, and direct confidential phone/website enquiry (1800 940 962) for residential and outpatient enrolment. Revenue is generated from premium self-pay all-inclusive residential programmes (one-time), recurring outpatient subscriptions, specialised teen retreats, and functional pathology testing services; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no institutional investors identified in the source material.

Its core offering combines advanced psychotherapy, behavioural naturopathy, functional pathology testing, and somatic therapies, delivered by a dedicated multidisciplinary team either at its private beachside retreat on the Sunshine Coast or via secure telehealth across Australia and New Zealand.

Product overview

Goodsky Mental Health Retreat operates as a multi-program mental health service offering four distinct care pathways: three residential retreat programs (Depression & Anxiety Retreat, PTSD & Trauma Retreat, Teen Mental Health Retreat) and one Outpatient Mental Health Program. All programs share a common integrated approach combining advanced psychotherapy (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, brainspotting, art therapy), behavioural naturopathy, functional pathology testing, and targeted nutrition support. The residential retreats are based at Atlantis Marcoola Beachfront Resort on the Sunshine Coast with durations typically around 21 days, while the outpatient program provides flexible telehealth or in-person alternatives. The same multidisciplinary team supports both residential and outpatient pathways, enabling seamless transitions between programs.

Emerging players

• Mindspot Clinic: Australian national digital mental health service offering therapist-supported online treatment programs. Comparable in telehealth-delivered mental health care and assessment-driven approach, though focuses on lower-intensity digital CBT rather than intensive multidisciplinary care.

Regional players

• The Balance Luxury Rehab: Luxury private mental health and addiction treatment facility in Mallorca. Comparable in high-end private-pay retreat positioning, individualized care, and integrated therapeutic modalities for mood and trauma disorders.
• Khiron Clinics: International mental health and trauma recovery clinic network with programs addressing treatment-resistant conditions. Comparable in trauma-focused residential treatment methodology, though primarily operates outside Australia.
• Praxis Wellness Retreat: European mental health wellness retreat offering trauma, depression, and anxiety programs with residental immersion. Comparable in retreat-based intensive treatment model and holistic methodology, though operating in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

Provides the broader incumbent mental health treatment landscape Goodsky competes against on outcomes and personalization.
• Aurora Healthcare Australia: Established Australian mental health provider offering inpatient, outpatient, and day programs across multiple locations. Comparable in the broad mental health treatment category but operates at larger scale with hospital-grade infrastructure rather than boutique retreat setting.

Directly comparable to Goodsky's Sunshine Coast retreat model, premium private-pay positioning, and integrated multidisciplinary approach.
