Getting to know Alina Hetherman

I am passionate about helping people learn to cope with emotional and mental challenges to live healthy, full lives. I have helped adults struggling with life's challenges achieve improved mental and emotional health. I've witnessed that when a person is better able to manage their own life, their relationships with others improve as well. I want to help you find a healthy perspective on life's challenges and learn useful coping skills to manage them in the future. Whether you are experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or trying to manage a mental health condition, I would like to help you choose the tools you already have within you to feel more confident and find your direction in life. My approach I strive to be authentic and engaged during sessions. It is my goal to create a safe and supportive environment so that we can form a strong therapeutic working relationship. It is through this working relationship that people can find new ways to manage the challenges they are experiencing. During therapy sessions, I will offer therapeutic coping strategies and techniques from various treatments and theoretical orientations. I may also share some of my personal experiences that may help you find a new perspective or develop new skills. I have specialized training in Gestalt therapy, which emphasizes developing a strong working relationship with you. In addition, I may also utilize my knowledge and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Play Therapy. My focus Relationships can be challenging at times! It’s not easy to recognize ways we can improve our relationships. Just by reaching out for help, you are making a choice to make a change. I would like to work with you to learn how you could improve your relationships with others, as well as your relationship with yourself, and to improve your overall outlook on life.
