Getting to know Heather Minshall

I am Heather Hathaway, a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience. Additionally, I hold a doctorate in psychotherapy. My focus is to bring internal relief to external stimuli. My approach I meet my clients where they are. I have experience using CBT, DBT, and other approaches, yet my primary focus is on psychoanalytic and Jungian perspectives. My focus As a mother of four, my specialty is working with teens and anyone who has ever been one. The teenage experience is difficult for both teens and their parents. I am also skilled in working with couples facing communication struggles and individuals who need a safe place to talk. My communication style I believe in a relaxed approach. I am here to listen to you, help you recognize your patterns, and guide you toward a new path. I am casual and easygoing, yet direct in my interventions. My journey to therapy I became a therapist because, as a single mom, I wanted to ensure I handled my own children in a healthy, communicative way. Having struggled emotionally as a teen, I recognize the importance of being available with positive, empathic regard. My goals for you I believe goals need to be self-motivated, and I will meet you where you are. Some clients prefer to set specific goals; others simply need a place to feel heard. I offer both. My first session with you During our first session, I will inform you of your right to confidentiality and share who I am as a therapist. Our first session is a time to get to know each other. Like a first date, we need to see if we are comfortable together.
