More about Heather
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in New York with 10+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. As a clinician, professional, and human being, I am gentle, honest, assertive and kind.
My professional experience has included therapy in an outpatient office setting as well as crisis intervention and therapy within the criminal justice system. I also am a long term client of therapy myself.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs - using a variety of modalities and education. Everyone can benefit from therapy. With accountability and honesty, you will see this can be truly beneficial work.
My schedule with BetterHelp typically is during evenings and weekends, but sometimes daytime appointments can be accommodated.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
