Being at peace with yourself is not easy. Showing yourself the kindness you easily give to others can be extremely challenging. This is especially true if you are accustomed to anticipating the needs of others before acknowledging your own. You may find that your sense of worthiness depends on how useful you are to others. The beautiful thing is: you are enough already as you are. The painful thing is: you believe you're both not enough and too much at the same time. You want to be able to relate to yourself in a kinder way, take good care of yourself, and feel more authentic in your relationships. I specialize in working with people who struggle with people-pleasing behaviors and are their own worst critics. My work focuses on improving how clients relate to self and others. I also have specialized training and experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I use EMDR to help clients work through past trauma. Often the hardest part of healing is taking the initial first step of seeking help. If you have noticed that you automatically appease others at the expense of yourself, it is time to quit the self-abandonment and re-build your foundation. I look forward to assisting you with your healing journey.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia as well as Georgia, and a Nationally Certified Counselor.

She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and would be happy to explore this option with clients if appropriate.

Welcome! I’m Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved clinical supervisor, and I’m dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centered care and professional guidance. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in an overthinking spiral, you’re not alone. Many teens and young adults feel pressure to keep up with school, work, relationships, and expectations, while quietly struggling with motivation, confidence, and emotional exhaustion. I enjoy working with Gen Z clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and stress related to school or life transitions. My style is highly relational and collaborative, offering a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy. Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm don’t just affect your thoughts, they often show up in your body too, like tension, fatigue, racing thoughts, or feeling disconnected or stuck. Together, we’ll help your nervous system feel safer and calmer so you can move out of survival mode and handle life with more ease. When you're ready, I'm here to support you. Additionally, I'm passionate about supporting individuals and their families affected by disabilities or rare diagnoses. Outside of work, I dedicate time to raising awareness and advocating for disabilities, rare disorders, neurodiversity, and inclusivity, while also helping others navigate community resources and access the additional support they may need.

At HeartMind Resiliency, offers transformative healing through psychotherapy and body-based practices. We specialize in trauma and resiliency to help with anxiety, depression and overwhelm. Many of our clients are young adults looking for a therapeutic approach that is nonpathologizing and welcoming. Experiential & Somatic: Trauma, stress and overwhelm are not just phenomena of the mind, but are experienced and held in our entire bodies. Healing takes place in the Here & Now and in relationship to Self and Others, so our work together centers around creating experiences of change in present time. While there is value in talking about or analyzing our thoughts, memories and feelings, we believe deep and lasting healing happens through experiencing change in present time while feeling it in the body. Trauma-Sensitive: We go beyond trauma informed care in that we not only recognize the need to make space for traumas of all kinds, we are committed to extensive training and understanding in the notion that trauma is not only an event in your past that happened to you, but it is something that you still carry inside that impacts your relationship to yourself and the world. Traumas come in many different shapes and sizes, and it is often so insidious that many don’t even recognize they are holding it. We are well trained in complex, attachment, developmental, shock/single incident, systemic and intergenerational trauma. Nonpathologizing: You are not a label or diagnosis and what happened to you does not define you. How you have learned to cope with your life experiences are a testament to your capacities to get through and survive. What worked before might be keeping you alive, and now you are ready to thrive. We will honor how you got here, not pathologize it or make it wrong, but support you to find new ways of being where there is more choice and flexibility.

Since 2017, Circle of Wellness (COW), has provided services to various individuals and families dealing with difficult life transitions that may have prohibited their ability to live a happy and prosperous life. COW cultivates a safe space, where diversity and inclusion are valued. We pride ourself on providing quality care and prioritizing the needs of patients that are served. Hence, why a free 15 minute phone consultation is offered to individuals interested in receiving therapy services. This is a great way to ensure the patient is matched with the therapist that best meets their needs. Research shows that the most important aspect of a successful therapeutic relationship is the connection between the patient and the therapist. As with any relationship, therapy works best when there is trust, mutual respect, and a sense of connection. Our goal as a practice, is to help people get through the lousy times, not by removing the garbage, but by walking with them so they can see it is survivable. Each therapist at COW, has a unique style. Our therapists, have previously worked in various settings to include: community based mental health programs for adults and children, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, therapeutic group homes, corrections and community corrections, and geriatric settings. The combined experience of therapists at COW, makes this practice an eclectic group of individuals who can work with a wide variety of populations.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping people work through eating and body image concerns, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship struggles, and chronic health issues. Many of my clients are students navigating academic pressure, shifting identities, and major life transitions, often while feeling weighed down by self-doubt or stress. My approach is collaborative and active. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and share observations that can help you see things in a new light. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying your values and building the flexibility to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions in ways that move you toward a life that feels meaningful. I also integrate DBT skills and other evidence-based tools when needed, and I often give practical strategies to try between sessions so progress feels tangible. Clients describe me as laid back, approachable, and nonjudgmental. I balance warmth and humor with persistence and creativity, and I work to create a safe space where you can be yourself, explore openly, and build resilience and confidence for your life ahead.

MySpectrum: A Practice, Not a Platform With the onset of COVID-19 and the booming world of virtual options for many services, including therapy, it is hard to tell what’s behind the scenes. You might see advertisements and information about various telehealth services, many that look inviting. You might even choose one of these options and find that the process is smooth to get you scheduled. It could even be that you are connected with a Therapist who fits you like a glove. That would be ideal. But, that might not be reality. Maybe you have a complex diagnosis or you don’t even know what diagnosis you might have. Maybe you aren’t seeking therapy because of a diagnosis, but moreso because you are having a hard time and you don’t know why. Trying to articulate what might bring you to therapy can be a daunting task, one that might require a bit of hand-holding. Or, at least a bit of patience and understanding. At MySpectrum, one of the attributes that makes us different from other companies that offer an extensive telehealth service is that we are people too. We use technology to help us streamline processes, to organize information, and to make certain aspects of your journey more user friendly. We do this so that we can spend more time with those who need our time. We recognize that you might need a human touch in your path to wellness and this can’t be replaced with technology. We have an administrative team who works out of our home office in North Chesterfield, Virginia. They are actively involved in the client experience and are available to be your navigator through the process, should you need it. The people who make up the administrative team have names and faces, which can be found on our website here. Supporting and overseeing the operations and administrative functions of MySpectrum are leaders with backgrounds in mental health services. Our Operations Specialist provided mental health care for over a dozen years and our Director is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience. While we might have certain experiences with technology, we also have the same (or more) experiences actually providing the services we offer. Many telehealth driven companies are led by those with backgrounds in technology who are good at what they do. They focus on the tech aspects of the service. We focus on helping people. Because that is what we do. MySpectrum believes in serving through telehealth via our Teletherapy service. We believe that this offers more people the opportunity to receive the help they need without the added strains that might come into play with needing to go to an office for therapy. You don’t have to set aside time to travel, you don’t need to pay for gas, you don’t need to brave the weather, and you don’t need to worry about changing out of your comfy clothes. You can see your Therapist in a setting that is comfortable for you. You can use our HIPPA secure telehealth platform and decide where you have your session. MySpectrum has clients who live all over the Commonwealth of Virginia, and our Therapists do too. Through Teletherapy, we are able to connect with others on a broader scale. Not because we want to be a huge tech company like those in Silicon Valley, but because we want to be the go-to place for mental health and wellness care. For Virginia and beyond.
