About

Hello and welcome to Prosper Health! My name is Heather C. Burton, Psy.D. and I am licensed in California and Colorado. I have worked with a diverse range of neurodivergent adults throughout my career and bring a comprehensive, curious, and empathic approach to assessment. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and organized testing environment where clients feel understood and respected. My goal is to help individuals gain greater insight into their unique strengths and abilities while providing clarity and guidance for the next steps in their journey.

Education & Licensure
Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Diversity from Phillips Graduate University, MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, BA in Psychology with minor in Human Sexuality from San Francisco State University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am passionate about supporting autistic adults through a respectful, collaborative, and strengths-based approach that recognizes the wide range of neurodiverse experiences. Each assessment is approached with an open-minded, curious, and engaging style that values the unique perspectives and experiences of every person. I strive to create an environment where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered while helping them recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and gain meaningful insight that can support growth, relationships, and overall well-being.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I emphasize a supportive, affirming, and strengths-focused approach so that each person feels respected, understood, and empowered throughout the process. I recognize that every client brings their own unique abilities, perspectives, and potential for growth. By listening carefully to clients’ experiences and responding with empathy and validation, I aim to foster a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can feel comfortable expressing themselves openly and authentically.
