Heather Friend, LCSW, LMSW

Psychotherapist
MI
I am a licensed clinical social worker who helps people make sense of what feels overwhelming, whether that is anxiety, past experiences, or patterns in relationships that keep repeating. I focus on creating a space where you do not have to filter yourself or have everything figured out. Together, we slow things down, understand what is really going on beneath the surface, and begin shifting patterns in a way that feels realistic and lasting. My approach blends insight with practical tools, so you are not just talking about what has been challenging, you are learning how to move through it differently. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel both understood and supported, while also being gently challenged to grow.
