About me

Looking for someone that truly listens and also helps you to move forward? Hello. I am Heather Friend, a licensed clinical therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals move through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and deep emotional pain. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I offer a space that is calm, compassionate, and judgment-free. I specialize in helping adults who are managing: *Complex trauma and PTSD *Parenting or caregiving of children with ADHD, autism, or behavioral challenges *Anxiety, grief, depression, and emotional dysregulation *The weight of growing up in abusive or unstable environments *Difficulties in Relationships and setting healthy boundaries with others *** You don’t need to show up perfect. You just need to show up. *** My approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and clarity. I integrate tools from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, somatic trauma work, mindfulness, and psychodynamic healing based on your needs. We can help you rebuild trust with yourself and create lasting change. ***Clients tell me they feel understood, supported, and encouraged to grow without pressure. Clients also state that they are happy to have found a therapist that not only listens but also guides them to create positive changes in their lives.*** If you’re someone who has always taken care of others and is finally ready to be cared for — I’m here. You deserve to feel safe, supported, and to have your experiences truly seen and understood. You deserve to experience peace and to feel empowered. ********************************************************* If you’re in crisis and need immediate support, help is available 24/7: Call or text 988 Crisis Line: 1-844-493-8255 or text TALK to 38255 National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) US National Hotlines: **National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) **National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673 **National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 **Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453 **Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357 **Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255, PRESS 1 or text 838255 **CDC National HIV and AIDS Hotline: 1-800-232-4636
