Mental health care that works with the body, not just the mind.
Private residential retreats on the Sunshine Coast and structured outpatient care across Australia and New Zealand — for adults living with PTSD, complex trauma, depression, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation.
Many people who come to Goodsky have already tried therapy. Sometimes for years.
They're tired. They've been given labels without lasting answers. They're wondering if anything will actually help.
You might recognise yourself in some of these
- Living with ongoing anxiety or low mood
- Lingering effects of past trauma or PTSD
- Poor sleep, or feeling "tired but wired"
- Increasing reliance on medication
- Brain fog or difficulty thinking clearly
- Therapy that hasn't led to lasting change
- Strain on important relationships
- Symptoms without clear or useful answers
The conditions we work with.
Goodsky works with adults and teenagers experiencing complex, persistent, or treatment-resistant mental health conditions — particularly where the body and nervous system are involved.
PTSD and complex trauma
For people living with the ongoing effects of single-incident or developmental trauma, including childhood adversity.
Depression
Including treatment-resistant depression, post-burnout depression, and depression that hasn't responded to medication or therapy alone.
Anxiety
Generalised anxiety, panic, health anxiety, and the chronic activation that often sits underneath sleep and digestion issues.
Nervous system dysregulation
The "tired but wired" pattern. Burnout. Freeze states. People whose physiology is stuck in survival mode.
Teen mental health
Adolescents experiencing anxiety, low mood, school refusal, social withdrawal, or distress that family and school supports haven't been able to settle.
Post-discharge support
Structured continuation of care after a psychiatric hospital admission or another residential program.
A different kind of mental health retreat — built around one person at a time.
Goodsky is a private one-on-one residential program on the Sunshine Coast for adults living with PTSD, complex trauma, depression, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation. No group sessions. No shared schedules. Care designed entirely around you.
A decade refining a personalised, trauma-informed model of residential care for adults across Australia and internationally.
Every guest works privately with their own multidisciplinary team. No group programs. No shared therapy time.
Psychotherapy, somatic therapies, medical care, nutrition and lifestyle support, integrated into a single program.
Treatment modalities include
From the first call to going home.
No two programs look exactly the same. Care is shaped around your history, what you've already tried, and what your nervous system can hold — week by week.
Before
A conversation, not a sales call.
Care begins with an unhurried phone consultation with a senior member of the team. We listen to what's been happening, review your history, and talk honestly about whether Goodsky is the right fit. If it isn't, we help point you toward something that is.
- Confidential intake conversation
- Review of medical and personal history
- Honest assessment of fit and timing
During
Your own team, your own pace.
You stay in private accommodation on the Sunshine Coast and work one-on-one with a multidisciplinary team. Each day is shaped around what's needed, drawing from psychotherapy, somatic and body-based therapies, medical assessment, nutrition, and movement.
- Private, individual accommodation
- One-on-one sessions, no group programs
- Care paced to nervous system capacity
After
Care that follows you home.
Going home is part of the program, not the end of it. Many guests continue with structured outpatient support remotely, so what's been built during the retreat has room to settle into daily life. Available across Australia and New Zealand.
- Structured outpatient continuation
- Remote sessions with your team
- Practical handover to local supports

Goodsky was founded by Greg Doney over a decade ago. The team includes psychotherapists, medical practitioners, naturopaths, exercise physiologists, and somatic practitioners — each working in their own area of practice, and all working together on one care plan at a time.
Every practitioner is independently registered in their discipline. We choose people for their depth of experience with trauma, not just their credentials.
Progress is tracked over the course of every program using validated tools including DASS-21 and PCL-5. See measured outcomes.
Questions people ask before they call.
A few of the most frequent questions. For more, visit the full FAQ.
Do you run group sessions or shared programs?
No. Goodsky is fully one-on-one. Every guest stays in private accommodation and works individually with their team. There are no group therapy sessions, no shared meals with other guests, and no shared schedules. Care is designed entirely around one person at a time.
Can I do an outpatient program instead of a residential retreat?
Yes. Goodsky offers a structured outpatient program available securely via telehealth across Australia and New Zealand, or in-person on the Sunshine Coast. It is suitable for people with the stability to manage their own recovery at home but who need more support than standard weekly therapy. Learn more about outpatient care.
How long is a residential retreat?
Residential retreats typically run for two to four weeks, with structured pre-retreat preparation and post-retreat outpatient support built into every program. The exact length is shaped by what's needed for each person, and is discussed during the initial confidential consultation.
Do you take international clients?
Yes. Goodsky supports guests from across Australia, New Zealand, and internationally. For people travelling from outside Australia, the team can help coordinate logistics and provide ongoing remote outpatient support after the residential program ends.
Not sure where to start?
Send us a message and a senior member of the team will get back to you for a confidential, no-obligation conversation. If Goodsky isn't the right fit, we'll still do our best to help you find appropriate support.
