History
Childhood best friends, Dr. Heather Pearson & Dr. Jaclyn Pease shared similar passion and motivation to help others from an early age and pursued parallel education in clinical and forensic psychology. Both parties received their doctorate of psychology from Alliant International University. Drs. Pearson and Pease began practicing together in Orange County, CA developing and managing clinical programs in a large private practice. They have participated in large scale treatment program evaluations for state and federal government agencies. In addition to private practice, Drs. Pearson and Pease both work as civil servants in a large treatment facility. Both hold specialties in treatment, assessment, forensic evaluation, and program development. Since opening in 2019, Capitol Psychological Assessment has expanded and currently includes co-owners Drs. Pearson and Pease, along with five licensed psychologists who provide evaluation and treatment in both telehealth and in-person settings.
