About

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile page! I am so happy you are here! My name is Myra D. West, Psy.D., and I am a clinical and consulting psychologist. I currently live in Wisconsin and have also lived in Michigan, Tennessee, Colorado, Illinois, and Iran as a child. I am licensed in Wisconsin and Illinois, and I am authorized to practice telepsychology in 41 additional states through PSYPACT.I treasure my diverse cultural, spiritual, and regional experiences and utilize them to provide a welcoming, safe, and compassionate approach in my interactions. My practice focuses on supporting individuals to achieve wellness in all areas of their lives (i.e., psychological, social, physical, intellectual, environmental, etc.). Let’s work together to support you in feeling heard, seen, and understood!

Education & Licensure
PsyD & MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver; MS in Child Development and BA in Psychology from the University of Tennessee; Graduate Certificate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I specialize in the field of traumatic stress, and I am passionate about supporting individuals who may not always feel truly seen, heard, or understood. Trauma reactions impact our brains, physiology, relationships, and functioning in a variety of domains. My role is to help clients understand these concepts, their impacts, and tools to cope with their reactions to support their functioning and success in life. I am drawn to offer neurodivergent individuals similar strengths-based approaches to support them in feeling valued, respected, and seen. My true passion lies in helping each person become their best self. I aim to empower you to be your own advocate and to celebrate the amazing person that you are. Together, we can work toward a space where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged along your path.

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

We will work together to ensure your strengths and abilities are utilized to navigate you along your path to achieve personal goals and success. My approach is driven by your goals and focus and it will be my pleasure to formulate a plan that works for you, incorporating those closest to you, if you prefer.
