Getting to know Heidi Gergurich

Hi there, I'm Heidi! Hello! My name is Heidi Gergurich, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 126455). My focus is on behavioral approaches, which are usually short-term and address the client’s behavior and thought patterns, as well as psychodynamic approaches that consider the client’s personality and family history to address underlying causes. My approach I emphasize person-centered therapy, believing people are inherently motivated to achieve positive psychological functioning. I utilize Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients feel safe, at ease, and build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Therapy aims to help clients live a more fulfilled, functional, and happier life by assisting them in managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My focus I have worked with families, couples, and individuals coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, pornography/sex addiction, anger management, boundaries, narcissistic personality abuse recovery, grief and loss, and communication skills. I specialize in Brainspotting, a talk therapy revealing unprocessed traumas through fixed eye positions. My communication style I believe a therapeutic atmosphere should be warm, emotional, positive, accepting, secure, and conducive to growth. I provide active listening, reflect on emotions and experiences with empathy, and ask open-ended questions to encourage exploration and validate feelings while offering guidance and support. I maintain a nonjudgmental and respectful demeanor. My journey to mental healthcare I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The University of Arizona and my Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University. I have over 13 years of experience working in mental health with adults and adolescents in various settings.
