Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Accepting clients Last Updated 25 days ago

I offer holistic, somatic psychotherapy for chronically stressed and spiritually curious adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, introspective, and self-aware. They’ve often done years of inner work or traditional talk therapy and understand their patterns intellectually, yet still feel tense, anxious, or overwhelmed in their bodies. They’re seeking something more than insight alone—a therapeutic experience that supports real, embodied change.

I’m Heather Waxman, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Somatic Exercises Instructor, and Certified EFT Practitioner with over 13 years of experience. My work integrates nervous system regulation, relational therapy, somatic practice, and spirituality, supporting healing at the level of body, psyche, and meaning. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and carefully paced, helping insight land in the body so change can settle and last. This work is a vocation for me, and I’m deeply committed to creating spaces that feel safe, attuned, and supportive.

Clients often come to me feeling outwardly capable but inwardly exhausted—carrying patterns of over-responsibility, hypervigilance, or chronic bracing that developed early in life.

Over time, therapy supports clients to feel less tense, more grounded, and more connected to themselves; to process emotions with greater ease; to strengthen boundaries; and to cultivate deeper self-trust and inner safety.

If you’re seeking a grounded, holistic approach to therapy that honors both your nervous system and your spiritual life, I invite you to book a free consultation.
