Getting to know Patricia Heiner
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, addictions, PTSD, relationship issues, divorce, grief, personality disorders, OCD, LGBTQ+ issues, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and many other treatments to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. For example, the CBT approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and medication psychoeducation. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts, self-doubt, sadness, depression, relationship issues, blended family issues, divorce, life transitions, ODD, PTSD, trauma? I will work with you to help you learn how to manage your life challenges and will support you to develop self-awareness and higher self-esteem. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable for you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I prioritize positive, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment that feels safe for you. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges since I was a child. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma, addictions, depression, anxiety, and other areas. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging.
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
