Your values, experiences, goals, and pace help guide the work. Therapy is something done with you, not to you.
Clear & educational

Call to ask about coverageCommon questions
A few things to know.
What is a first session like for an adult?
Your first session begins with a warm introduction and a biopsychosocial assessment—a conversation about your experiences, current concerns, strengths, and support system. You and Heather will discuss what brought you to therapy, identify your goals, and create a collaborative treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
What is a first session like for a child?
A caregiver is typically present during a child’s first session to share background information and help the child feel comfortable. Like an adult intake, the session includes a warm introduction, an age-appropriate assessment, a conversation about goals and concerns, and the beginning of a collaborative treatment plan. Future sessions will be shaped by the child’s comfort and maturity and may include a mix of individual and family sessions.
How frequently would we meet?
Sessions are typically held weekly. The schedule may change over time based on your individual needs, goals, progress, and treatment plan.
Are sensory and comfort items available?
Yes. The office includes a variety of supports that clients may use, including fidget toys, coloring books, visual stimulation, low-lighting options, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, drinks, snacks, a drawing board, tactile grounding tools, and a sound machine. You are welcome to use what helps you feel more comfortable and settled.
