Often people see therapy as a one-sided conversation with little opportunity to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions you are looking for in a trusting and supportive environment. Starting therapy can be intimidating. It's my goal to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Because of life's ever-present stresses and uncertainties, all of us must face a variety of changes and adjustments as we move through life. Sometimes this can result in personal difficulties that cannot be resolved alone. Intervention may be needed to help find solutions and avoid future problems. I am a clinical psychologist trained to address many developmental and life-adjustment issues for a broad spectrum of individuals from early childhood through adolescence, adulthood and later life. My training is designed to help individuals resolve their emotional/social conflicts, and cope more successfully with the demands of the world.

Compass was founded with the vision of empowering individuals who are struggling with emotional, behavioral, social, or other challenges to utilize their strengths to achieve their goals. These goals vary by individual; clients may present with goals to improve their academic or occupational functioning, foster healthier relationships, take control of powerful emotional responses, or (most commonly) to get answers about the sources of their struggles through psychological testing that we use to inform individualized treatment planning. My job is to provide answers to these questions and work with you to achieve success.

Hello, my name is Dr. Heather Cornett, PhD, LP, and my focus is psychological testing, in particular for autism, ADHD, intellectual functioning, learning disorders, and personality disorders. At this time, I am conducting autism and ADHD testing virtually for adults.

Is your child struggling with school? Children, adolescents and college-aged people often experience academic problems related to attention deficits, anxiety, obsessive/compulsive symptoms, depression and ongoing underachievement. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Structural Family Therapy help students and their families develop new patterns of relationship and change old, repetitive patterns that are not working. We can learn optimism (versus pessimism), persistence (versus procrastination) and engagement (versus avoidance). Neuropsychological evaluation helps to inform educational and treatment planning.

Do you feel lost, as if others have some sort of cheat code to life that no one passed to you? Maybe you've always felt different than most, leaving you to question your identity and intuition. I've been there and even continue to do the work that allows me to feel grounded in my identity, and befriend my authentic self. At 31, all my quirky traits and unpopular opinions finally made sense, once I learned about and embraced my neurodivergent brain. There is no specific blueprint on who to be or how to live. We all have varying identities that make life exciting, challenging, and rewarding.

Anxiety and depression often point to where we might need to look at our current direction, relationships, and/or make tweaks on how we treat ourselves.
