Getting to know Heather Willis

Hi there, I'm Heather! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My practice is rooted in providing compassionate, Native American-centered, trauma-informed care, honoring the strength and resilience that exists within each individual. As Maya Angelou beautifully said, ‘We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.’ My approach In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help you process past trauma and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. Through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I provide hands-on tools that empower you to regain control over your emotions and behaviors. Tailored to your unique needs, I may integrate practices like mindfulness and, when appropriate, medication. Your goals and progress are my top priority, and together, we’ll tackle challenges and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus I specialize in working with young adults, families, and individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're processing past trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I'll partner with you to create an empowering, achievable plan for growth. My communication style My communication style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, creating a safe space where you can feel heard and understood. I prioritize active listening, ensuring that I truly understand your concerns before offering thoughtful, tailored feedback. For example, if you're struggling with anxiety, I might gently guide you through identifying triggers while offering practical strategies, like mindfulness, to help manage those moments, all while respecting your pace and comfort level. My journey to mental healthcare I was initially drawn to the field because of my deep passion for helping those who often feel forgotten or overlooked, particularly within marginalized communities.
