Getting to know Heather McGovern
Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW with a Master's in Social Work from the University of West Florida and over 10 years of experience providing mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families. My experience working with neurodivergent people has allowed me to help them navigate feelings of being stuck, unheard, or trapped within social norms and unrealistic expectations. I identify as queer and have supported clients at all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced trauma related to their sexuality, abusive relationships, upbringing, or other circumstances.
I offer virtual therapy sessions, walk-and-talks (therapy where we meet in public but maintain privacy while walking and talking), and in-home therapy sessions. I do not have a brick-and-mortar client location; if we are not meeting virtually, we meet in public or in your home. In-home appointments carry an additional fee. The address listed on this profile is the most common place clients prefer for walk-and-talks, but I'm open to meeting in other public yet private locations.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
