Dr. Heather Helmke, PsyD

Dr. Heather Helmke, PsyD

Psychologist
1480 64th St, Emeryville, CA
It can be hard to meaningfully connect with others in today's fast-paced, technologically reliant world. Traumatic experiences may cause one to withdraw and isolate from relationships and the environment or possibly lead to self-destructive behaviors. Therapy is a tool that helps when feeling stuck or overwhelmed, whether those feelings stem from underlying anxiety, depression, trauma, loss/grief, relationship issues, stress, or self-esteem challenges. I provide a safe space to develop an understanding of how stressors impact the mind and body, and I teach techniques that have been empirically validated to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and release trauma from the body. My office is also a safe and affirming place for those who identify on the LGBTQIA spectrum. I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY27261), and I received my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I have experience working in addiction/harm reduction, crisis and trauma, and child and family therapy. I provide an eclectic style of relational and psychodynamic therapy that incorporates mindfulness techniques with somatic and holistic therapeutic approaches to create balance in the mind and body and calm the neurological system to alleviate feelings of distress. Through collaboration in a safe and supportive environment, strengths are identified, and I will work with you to create lasting, positive changes in your life. Together, we can develop goals to help you live a more richly integrated, fulfilling, and productive life.
