Counseling
Counseling is at the core of what we do at The Center KSQ. The inception of the design of our integrated-wellness community was founded on the insight and vision of our original counseling team. Counseling is such a vital and important tool. It centers around not what is wrong with you, but about what has happened. This is a paradigm shift in the clinical world and a cornerstone to who we are and how we practice as a team at The Center KSQ.
Heather believes that every body has lived a unique set of experiences that has shaped the person within that body. She understands that you are the one and only expert on your life. Her main goal as a clinician is to learn and understand who you are and help you uncover the answers within you that will empower you to own the narrative of your life. She utilizes evidenced-based practices to help you meet your therapy goals and achieve optimal overall health.
Building a supportive and compassionate therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of Heather’s work with clients. Establishing a strong foundation of mutual trust and authenticity allows her to meet you where you are in life.
With an MS in ClinicalMental Health Counseling, Heather is accumulating hours toward licensure. She is grateful for the opportunities that The Center for Change at Kennett Square has afforded her - most notably a partnership with Rooted Revival Healing and Initia Nova, to offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy aimed at healing clients afflicted with PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, chronic pain, and more.
Heather’s desire to help those who suffer from addiction, trauma, and negative thought patterns has led her to acquire training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She currently works with an EMDRInternational Association (EMDRIA)-certified supervisor and plans to pursue an instructional path that would allow her to train other clinicians in this treatment modality.
