Heather Waddle, LCSW

Heather Waddle, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Welcome! Starting a healing journey in therapy can be scary, but I am here to make the process a positive one. Using empathy and going at your pace is my goal. I have experience working with adults with a variety of symptoms and a passion for supporting those dealing with depression, trauma, anxiety, gender dysphoria, substance misuse, and individuals who are formerly incarcerated. I am competent in Narrative, CBT, DBT, restorative justice, and trauma-focused approaches. I also have experience working with first responders, including correctional staff. Additionally, I have specialized training in gender dysphoria and gender-affirming assessments. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer an eclectic approach. Not all clients respond to the same modality of treatments. It is important for me to help you find what works best for you. I believe honoring the your theory of change will lead to the greatest success in therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I like to take a collaborative approach with clients as you are the expert in your life. Therapy is a journey of exploration and healing. I employ modalities that best fit you and adapt as needed. As someone that has worked in the mental health field for well over 15 years, I feel honored to share space with you while you work to explore and heal.
