I'm Dr. Candice Norcott, a licensed Clinical Psychologist with nearly a decade of experience building integrated women's behavioral health programs inside complex institutional environments.
Bio
Candice Norcott, Ph.D., is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, organizational consultant, and public speaker specializing in women's behavioral health and physician well-being. An alum of Brown University and the University of Connecticut, she completed her pre- and post-doctoral training in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University.
Over nearly a decade, Dr. Norcott has built two behavioral health programs from the ground up within complex academic medical institutions — without established models to follow. As the founding Director of a women's behavioral health program embedded within an OBG department, she grew a single grant-funded initiative into a multi-campus clinical program receiving approximately 700 referrals per year, spanning perinatal mental health, abortion care, menopause, and sex therapy. As the first GME Well-Being Director in her department's history, she built a tiered well-being ecosystem for physicians and trainees that includes peer infrastructure, early intervention programming, and a dedicated psychiatric care pathway developed in partnership with the psychiatry department.
Trauma-informed, gender-responsive, and culturally attuned frameworks are foundational to how Dr. Norcott builds — embedded into clinical workflows, staff training, and program design rather than layered on as an afterthought.
A sought-after speaker, Dr. Norcott presents internationally on trauma, gender, race, and well-being. She appeared in the Emmy-nominated Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly and was a recurring expert on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk. She consults with health systems, academic medical centers, and women's health programs seeking to build integrated behavioral health services that are clinically rigorous and built to last.
