Getting to know Heather Thigpen

For adults, I assist you in understanding how mental health impacts your daily life and explore ways to work around challenges. I also work with families to develop communication skills, positive parenting practices, and behavior management strategies to ease distress within the home and help families return to a state of comfort and connection. I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from Campbell University, which informs my approach to supporting individuals and families on their mental health journeys.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults to help them with emotional disorders. I use humor and relationship building to help clients feel more at ease during sessions. I use person-centered therapy to assist children, teens, and young adults how to learn manage their emotions, learn calm down strategies, and work with their depressive/anxious symptoms. ADHD skills training and Autism social/sensory skills are also offered. I help parents work on skills to better assist their children in understanding emotions and also help adults understand ADHD and Autism in their day to day lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will check in on your time since your last visit, ask about skills practiced, discuss emotions and fears, and then go over goals for the week.
