      <image:title>Contact - How do mutual fit calls work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Heather Clifford will call you to get a better picture of what is going on and answer all of your questions. By the end of the call we will have a pretty good sense if we will work well together. If you aren’t feeling the right vibe with your therapist nothing else will matter. Heather will also let you know if she has the right skill set to help with your struggles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Dr. Heather Clifford</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi, I'm Heather (she/her), founder of Emerging Psychology, PLLC.  I'm passionate about helping people in their twenties get through the tough stuff so they can live a life that is important to them. Transitioning into adulthood can often feel like a roller coaster. At one moment you may feel like you have life under control and the next day you are in tears or experiencing panic attacks. It may be true that the only constant in life is change, but change does not have to bring you so much suffering. I’m here to help you navigate those changes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - My Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>I specialize in helping folks in their twenties figure out how they want to live their life. I use interactive and values oriented strategies including: acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, self compassion, and exposure exercises.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Dr. Heather - About Dr. Heather Clifford (she/her)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have a memory of sitting in my middle school guidance counselor’s room filling out a form that asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” At that time I did not know how to spell the word psychologist (spelling still isn’t my strong suit), but I knew that was what I wanted to do. A psychologist helped me when I was younger and inspired me to want to help other people. My personal values of learning, connection, and justice motivated me through my schooling and continue to motivate me today. I’m committed to practicing psychology because I have seen how therapy can empower people to make changes in their life and help them improve their relationships with themselves and others.  I earned my bachelor’s degree studying psychology and art history at the University of Rochester. After graduation I spent a year volunteering for City Year in San Antonio. The experience deepened my understanding of the importance of mental health care and motivated me to go to graduate school. I earned my master’s and doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology at La Salle University in Philadelphia.  Throughout my career I have worked with people suffering from a wide range of mental health problems in many different settings. I discovered I have a knack for helping young adults who are going through tough life transitions, experiencing loss, or delving into self discovery.  For more details on my work history please feel free to ask during your consultation.</image:caption>
