Counseling Psychology

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.

My hope is that this collection of my thoughts over the last seven years of working with Third Culture Kids will create space for you to explore and make sense of the incredible life you’ve lived.
