Getting to know Heather Paxton

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and culturally responsive therapy rooted in a social justice framework. With a focus on empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds, my approach integrates both therapeutic techniques and a commitment to addressing systemic inequalities that impact mental and emotional well-being. I work with clients to create a safe and inclusive space where they can explore their identities, process trauma, and heal in a way that honors their unique lived experiences. I am a therapist who supports clients in exploring their inner worlds with compassion and curiosity. I work with individuals navigating identity, trauma, and systemic challenges, using IFS, feminist, and gender-affirming approaches. My work helps clients feel seen and empowered, fostering self-trust, healing, and meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

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.
