Nickeisha Clarke, PsyD, QS
Licensed Psychologist
With a neurodivergent brain wired for empathy, I understand the quiet chaos within you. I see the invisible struggles, the gifted quirks, the unyielding brilliance waiting to be understood. My journey as a psychologist, woven with the threads of motherhood and neurodiversity, compels me to help you navigate the storms of "different," not conquer them. Let's rewrite your narrative, not just diagnose it.

Registered Social Worker Intern
Hi, I'm Ashley and I believe everyone deserves a sense of safety and control in their lives, because no one should feel alone. We all face moments of feeling lost, low, or overwhelmed, but those moments do not define us. With compassion, connection, and collaboration, we can navigate the challenges you or your child may be experiencing. Together, we’ll build on your existing strengths to create a path toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
