About Heather Wilkie

Hello, I’m Heather Wilkie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida (MH20343). I bring over 12 years of experience supporting individuals navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I have extensive experience working within LGBTQ+ communities across all ages, which informs my affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive approach. While this is a core area of expertise, I welcome and work with individuals from all backgrounds and identities.

My style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore what’s bringing you to therapy. Whether you’re navigating relationships, stress, identity, or personal growth, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

Seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
