Getting to know Heather Abreu

Hi there, I'm Heather! I am Heather Abreu, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience from NYC, now working statewide via Telehealth. I hold an MSEd in Rehabilitation Counseling from Hunter College, City University of New York. I work with both adults and adolescents, specializing in anxiety, addiction treatment, family dynamics, and major life transitions. My approach My approach is integrative, incorporating different therapeutic techniques and theoretical approaches to ensure that your specific concern is addressed in the most effective way for you. I believe each person is unique and brings their own history, making it impossible to rely on only one or two approaches to therapy. People respond differently to styles of counseling. Our work together will always be person (you)-centered, solution-focused, and strength-based. My focus I work with individuals presenting a wide range of concerns. I have extensive experience working with individuals with addiction and their loved ones, those who have experienced trauma, and families in conflict. I also support individuals struggling with life transitions such as personal identity, divorce, and career change, as well as those exhibiting high levels of anxiety. My communication style My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life. I meet each client where they are and build on their strengths and resources. My style is not always “easy”; I will sometimes push you past your comfort zone, but I will always be empathetic, patient, and put you first. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative process. Often, clients aren’t aware of what is holding them back and keeping them stuck in unhealthy patterns. As a therapist, I can help identify those barriers. Together, we will create goals to undo negative patterns and build healthier ones.
