More about Heather
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in the State of Arizona with 16 years of professional work experience. I specialize in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma recovery, and coping with life changes. I believe in providing a safe environment for healing and wholeness, treating everyone with respect and compassion. Our sessions and treatment plan are customized to meet your unique and specific needs. I embrace a holistic body-mind-spirit approach to therapy and utilize the following treatment modalities: Nervous System Regulation, Strengths-Based Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Breath Work, Emotional Freedom Technique, Bilateral Stimulation, Mindfulness, Yoga, Trauma Recovery, and Feedback Informed Therapy.
Taking the first step to seeking a more peaceful and fulfilling life takes courage. I am here to effectively support you in that process. I believe we all are on a healing journey. There are times in our lives when we need some extra support and guidance for what is showing up. There is no trigger or trauma too big or small to safely process and bring into wholeness. The transforming power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my own life, combined with the experience I have gained through my healing journey from childhood trauma, encourages and empowers me to offer a safe space to facilitate healing and wellness for others.
I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Sociology from Grand Canyon University in 1992. While working full-time as a Social Worker, and completing two internships, I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Arizona State University in 1997. After two years of clinical supervision I became a Certified Independent Social Worker in 2000, which converted to Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2004. Furthermore, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist–Individual (CCTSI) through Trauma Institute International.
Heather Wiest — LCSW, E-RYT®500, YACEP®, CCTSI — is beyond blessed to LOVE, SERVE and INSPIRE her family and community as a Christ-Centered Yoga Teacher, Retreat Leader, Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki® Master, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and contributing author. Her holistic sessions and classes are engaging and rejuvenating, leaving one feeling balanced and inspired. Heather aims to curate memorable experiences, whether individually or collectively. Love Serve Inspire LLC was founded in 2018 to encompass all of Heather’s experience and skills as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Christ-Centered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, and Trauma Specialist. Heather’s busy life as a wife, mother, and guide, encourages her to find the pause — embracing every moment of connection, presence, and peace. A passionate, yet simple girl at heart, you can find Heather breathing in another radiant sunrise or sunset in her Arizona backyard, or while traveling the world.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Heather Wiest is absolutely wonderful! She is so considerate and very knowledgable. I always look forward to our sessions!
I have been beyond blessed to have Heather as my therapist! She fully understands the importance of mixing talk, meditation and prayer into our sessions. I am amazed at how much growth and healing I continue to experience because of her expertise. She’s absolutely phenomenal!
I’ve known I’ve needed therapy for a long time but was always too nervous to start. Heather makes it so easy and is very encouraging. My life has tremendously changed because of the tools she’s taught me and I can’t wait to see how much I continue to change over the course time.
I’ve tried therapy in the past and it was awkward and hard. Whenever I’m speaking with Heather it feels like I’m talking to an old friend who truly wants the best for me. Excited to see where our sessions take us!
I love Heather! Her wholistic approach really helps me feel grounded. I feel very comfortable talking to her and I love that she’ll reach out occasionally to send supportive messages throughout the week to encourage you in your goals. I was very clear in our first session that I wanted faith based counseling and she’s great at incorporating the Lord into our time together. She opens and closes each session with prayer, quotes scripture, and has sent me highlights from her personal devotions that she thinks would help encourage me through the message feature. I really feel like Heather cares about me and just wants to help me grow into the person God meant for me to be.
I’ve just begun my therapy with Heather, and I just went to say I am THANKFUL for her. She has been so wonderful, informative, and helpful. I was scared to start therapy and was worried I wouldn’t find a therapist that I would feel comfortable being vulnerable with. Heather is absolutely amazing! I felt comfortable right away. She’s extremely attentive to my needs and I’m absolutely blessed to have found her. If you need a therapist who truly cares about your well being, truly look NO further! You found her!
Heather is amazing she’s very attentive and caring I highly recommend her!
Heather speaks with me in a way that is very different from other therapists I have been to. It is very refreshing and positive. I hope to continue to gain ground with things that challenge me with a positive experience speaking with Heather.
Heather is fantastic. She listens and genuinely cares about what I’m going through. She has given me tools that work very well with my issues. I would highly recommend.
Heather is absolutely amazing at what she does! I’m blown away by her ability to really understand my journey and create practices and give me tools that are changing my life in such a beautiful way. My heart, head, spirit and gut are finally communicating to me so clearly and I feel strong and capable! I’m so grateful for Heather!
Heather is a huge blessing to me. She listens. She helps put real life into perspective.
She is absolutely amazing! I feel very safe and welcomed by her. I love how she helps and teaching ways to calm and refocus myself, I reallythink she is wonderful
I have not worked with Heather for more than 2 weeks but I can tell she really cares about helping me through this time. She’s excellent at communication and has a very positive attitude. I look forward to working with her and our weekly meetings.
