Welcome to my site!
I am Dr. Astrid Heathcote, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience helping individuals with challenges they face going through life. I have supported people deal with various mental health concerns, including anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD, Autism. However, guidance by a professional psychologist might be helpful for unique life challenges that do not imply “what is wrong” but provide guidance and direction. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and DBT and always begin with a collaborative effort to learn what matters to you by developing a plan that is helpful and practical for everyday use.
