More about Heather

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello, I'm Heather Hunter. I'm an LPC in the state of Idaho. Much of my professional experience has been working with children and adolescents, and I am widening my scope to include therapeutic services for adults. I have experience with trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

I take a person-centered approach when working with my clients. As Carl Rogers explained "It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried." In our work together, I will walk along side you in your journey of self-discovery, healing, growth, and wellness. My goal is to facilitate a safe space for exploration, a space where vulnerability and truth can be shared without judgement.

I often share resources, information, and homework that relate to your therapeutic goals. These are optional and can be done at your leisure and discretion. Remember, this experience is your own. I am here to help in a way that is meaningful for you. I am grateful for the opportunity to facilitate spaces of healing and human connection. I look forward to hearing form you soon. Take care!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
