Getting to know Heather Richardson

Hi there! I'm Heather, a direct, straightforward, to-the-point clinician with a Master's in Counseling from Dominican University. I specialize in family systems, adolescents, couples, individuals, and older adults. My focus is on helping clients understand what's going on and how to change things quickly. My approach centers on disrupting the behaviors, thought processes, and beliefs that are holding you back. I use various modalities, including DBT, EMDR, family systems, behavioral, psychodynamic, and attachment-based models. I work with clients and families who are eager to change, specializing in helping people navigate the most challenging times of their lives. I typically work with adolescents and families, emerging adults, couples, divorce, and later stages of life. People come to me because they appreciate my direct, to-the-point, fast-paced communication style. On our first day, I ask clients how we will know when they are done with treatment. By having a goal and vision from the start, you have a clear blueprint for where you're headed. In our first session, you can expect to learn a little about me, feel free to ask questions, and be ready to lean into growth and actual change.
