Hi, I’m MJ Basilio.
I’m the Principal Psychologist and founder of Psychcare. I started the clinic so neurodivergent people, and the people who love them, have somewhere to feel understood rather than fixed.
When you book with Psychcare, you’ll see me from your first appointment to your last. No handovers, and no retelling your story to someone new.

David has more than 25 years’ experience with children, teens and adults. He offers assessments, therapy and clinical supervision.
