Founder & Principal Psychologist

Hi, I'm MJ Basilio.

I am a Board Approved Supervisor and the founder of Psychcare Clinic. My passion lies in working with people who are ready to find ease, resilience, and joy in their lives.

"As a neurodivergent woman myself, I bring a dual perspective to my practice. I understand that true therapy isn't about 'fixing' your brain—it's about creating a life that works with it."

My Role: As the Principal Psychologist and founder, I lead the therapeutic direction of Psychcare Clinic and provide supervision and mentorship. I am committed to establishing a high-integrity clinical environment, operating within a collaborative hub alongside independent Senior Clinical Psychologist David Hawkins. This ensures diverse, expert perspectives are available to our community while maintaining strict professional and business separation.

How We Can Work Together

💡

Neuro-Affirming Assessments

I collaborate with our assessment team to provide clarity on ADHD, Autism, and cognitive profiles, focusing on your unique strengths rather than deficits.

⚡

ADHD Support

Practical, lived-experience informed strategies to help you manage executive function, strong emotions, and burnout in a world not built for us.

∞

Autism Navigation

We can work together to unmask safely, navigate sensory needs, and advocate for the accommodations that allow you to thrive.

😰

Anxiety & Trauma

Anxiety is often a response to a world that feels unsafe. We use trauma-informed therapy to help your nervous system find safety again.

☺️

Depression & Burnout

Moving beyond "just talking" to finding reconnection with your values, your energy, and the relationships that matter most.

🗨

Emotional Regulation

We move away from stigma to focus on managing intense emotions and building healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Qualifications & Experience

I've dedicated my career to supporting children, teenagers, adults, and families on their journey to well-being. I believe deeply in providing a safe, trauma-informed space where genuine healing and lasting change can occur.

Before becoming a psychologist, I gained valuable, real-world experience working in disability and government roles in child protection, out-of-home care, and risk assessments. This diverse background ensures I approach every client with a high level of insight, empathy, and practical understanding.
