Heather Elliot, LMHC
Heather works with young adults and adults who are seeking clarity and healing while navigating life's complex transitions. Many of her clients come to therapy experiencing anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress that manifests in persistent thought patterns and emotional challenges that feel impossible to break free from.
She believes that therapy is a sacred space for transformation, where both difficulty and resilience can be held with equal care. Her approach interweaves warmth with directness – she creates an environment where clients feel deeply heard while also being gently challenged to explore new perspectives and possibilities for growth. This balance allows her to work collaboratively with clients to identify their inherent strengths while honestly examining patterns that may no longer serve them.
As a therapist, Heather sees her role as both witness and collaborator on each client's journey. She brings a presence that is genuine, warm, and grounded in deep respect for their experiences. The therapeutic relationship is an active partnership – she believes that meaningful change emerges when combining the client's wisdom about their life with her therapeutic expertise.

In sessions, clients find a space that adapts to meet their unique needs. While Heather is well-versed in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, she draws from various therapeutic tools to create a personalized approach that resonates with each client's specific circumstances and goals.
Her style combines warmth with clarity – creating an atmosphere where clients feel simultaneously supported and empowered to grow. She values authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and believes that honest, direct communication paired with genuine care creates the strongest foundation for healing.
Through collaborative exploration and evidence-based practices, Heather works with clients to understand their patterns, explore their origins, and develop new ways of engaging with themselves and the world. She emphasizes reflection and self-discovery while providing practical tools for managing day-to-day challenges. This balanced approach helps create lasting change that extends far beyond the therapy room.
