Heidi Cary received her doctorate degree in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology, Alameda, in 2000. She received her master's degree in clinical psychology from John F. Kennedy University, Orinda, 1989, and has been licensed in California as a marriage and family therapist (MFC 31824) in a full time private practice in Corte Madera since 1994. She has specialized training in attachment (intimate relationships in childhood and adulthood), divorce adjustment, loss, and crisis, medical hypnosis, and sandplay therapy.

For her doctoral dissertation Dr. Cary conducted a study of 53 divorced women and interviewed them in depth regarding their adjustment to divorce. She said, "What I learned from this experience is about the determination, courage, and motivation of persons to recover from crisis, and about the influence of earlier experiences on the choice of mates and adjustment to change" .She uses information from her study for her therapy groups for men and women on "Moving Beyond Divorce". She has given seminars in the Bay Area on patterns of relating and divorce adjustment. Her postgraduate training includes work with multi-ethnic college students, individual adults, couples and families with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, separation and loss, parenting problems, and couples issues.

In private practice she works with children, families, individual adults, couples, and groups. For the past four years Dr. Cary has also supervised masters level interns at an agency in the community that serves families. She specializes in helping people adjust to crisis following losses or divorce. When she was asked how she would describe her practice, she said, "focus on understanding individuals from many aspects of their lives, teaching them how to improve their connection with others, helping them reach their goals, and supporting their personal growth".
