What clients say
- “Nothing but great things to say. <br /> I feel heard, seen and validated. <br /> I’ve also walked away with things to research that I probably wouldn’t have on my own.”
- “Heather has been a great support. <br /> She’s been patient and offers insight that is needed. <br /> She understands on a deep personal level my circumstances and that brings comfort and security in speaking with her.”
- “Heather is very kind and compassionate and a good listener, and offers useful suggestions. I have seen her only a couple of times so far, but I feel good about her as a therapist and look forward to continuing working with her.”
