Dr. Jennifer McCart is a clinical psychologist whose work focuses on supporting neurodivergent individuals, conducting comprehensive assessments, and providing cognitive rehabilitation for clients navigating attention, memory, and executive functioning challenges.

Her clinical experience spans anxiety, depression, stress-related concerns, and the relational dynamics that arise within families and partnerships impacted by neurodivergence. Dr. McCart is committed to thoughtful care that supports functional improvements and long-term, whole-body well-being.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and nervous system-informed techniques — always with an emphasis on clarity, resilience, and measurable progress.

Dr. McCart earned her doctorate from Azusa Pacific University, where her program emphasized a systems approach with integration of spirituality. She has worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults across community mental health, school counseling, inpatient psychiatric care, and medical rehabilitation settings.
