More about Heath

9 years' experience
Male
LPC

My name is Heath. I love working with people and walking with them through the toughest and in the best of times. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology and have been a counselor for almost 10 years and specifically a Licensed Professional Counselor for 6 years.

I love asking questions and helping others discover what they need and how to get those needs met. I am active in therapy and some people have said that our meetings are often more like a conversation rather than a one-sided discussion or advice giving session.

I have been fortunate and passionate to work with people with diverse backgrounds as well as a variety of struggles and because of this I have prioritized continued education on many subjects to develop my understanding and ability to help others. However, even with this experience, I prioritize being open to each individual's unique perspective and experience, while using a client-centered approach including working to understand the specific goals that are meaningful for each person.

My approach utilizes my background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I am intentional in using language that is relatable and usable for the person I am working with when developing goals, coping strategies, or developing understanding about oneself. I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for trauma specific work.

If you are reading this now, I am excited that you are likely on the verge of making a huge new step towards positive growth. If so, I would be honored to work with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
