About Heather
Heather Guthrie, LCSW, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She brings two decades of professional experience to sessions and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, focused on practical steps that feel manageable day to day.
Heather frames therapy as a partnership. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. From there she offers tools drawn from several approaches to help people act in ways that match their values and goals. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle and aim to build small, sustainable changes.
Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centered listening, and existential approaches for meaning questions. That mix supports practical symptom work as well as deeper questions about relationships and life direction. Heather emphasizes values, mindfulness, and clearer thinking to reduce overwhelm.
