In addition to the general forms of therapy I do that are listed on this site, I also use many techniques that are considered "out of the box." I feel that you deserve to benefit from any technique or intervention that I can provide for you or teach you, even if they are not frequently used by many therapists. Through my wide variety of experiences in the counseling profession, I have been able to determine which of these strategies are the most effective in particular situations. I am most interested in helping you become the best version of yourself.

Do you want to feel better? Do you want to get some things in your life back on track? Are there relationships you want to improve? I would love to help you find the life you want for yourself. I am also passionate about helping people heal and recovery from trauma. Many challenges come with trauma, especially complex trauma which happens over time, often within relationship. Trauma impacts our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world. My ideal client is someone who wants to recover and work towards building the life they want for themselves. I strongly believe in coming alongside you and helping you find your own path.

Emotions can be hard, life can be hard, dealing with trauma, depression and anxiety is hard, dealing with chronic pain is hard. So many things that we have to navigate in life can feel overwhelming and the struggle can feel unwinnable. You don’t have to do it alone! We can work together to make a plan for making sure you have the tools you need to deal with any situation that arises in life, the big and the small and everything in between. I am a compassionate understanding open minded person who approaches mental health treatment through a trauma informed lens.

I enjoy working with each client to help them find their voice, shed old parts of themselves that they no longer need, and discover their personal power. I have experience working with recovery from traumatic experiences, abuse recovery, eating disorders, couples therapy, OCD, anxiety, and depression.

Do any of these statements sound familiar? "I feel like I'm going crazy!" "Life feels out of control!" "I'm a mess!" Sometimes life feels out of control and you may feel "crazy" or a "mess". Unloading the burden with a trusted person in a safe and confidential environment, knowing you aren't being judged, condemned or criticized can be freeing. Life can be hard! Some seasons are more difficult than others. My passion is to serve individuals, couples and families in a way that influences the whole family toward growth and health.

If you decided to start therapy today, and you feel that you are being heard for the first time. There is someone helping you understand your experiences, your hardship, your thoughts and your feelings. How different would you feel, and be? I focus on emotions, attachment, and experience and how it has affected your mental health. I work through emotions with my clients and help them find their sense of self, vulnerability, and emotional balance. I help individuals understand their experiences and feelings that they have, and I sit in those moments and process and grow with them.

Hi there. My name is Heather, and I work as an LPCA at Bright Side Counseling. My journey towards becoming a therapist began with therapy and self-reflection. I wanted to understand my reality better, and through self-discovery, I realized that I could use my life experiences to assist others. This realization led me to pursue a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, and it has been a wild ride! I'm here to help you on your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Taking a humanistic approach to therapy, I want to work with you to help you understand and appreciate the importance of your self-actualization.

Whatever situation brought you to this page, I am glad you are here. You may be dealing with relational conflict, overwhelmed by or avoiding certain thoughts and emotions, or repeating patterns in life that do not serve you. Change is uncomfortable and scary, but therapy can help you let go of the things that keep you stuck while at the same time allowing new things to come in. My role as your therapist is to guide you through and out of these difficult experiences so that you can enjoy the beautiful moments in life but also cope with its challenges.

Do you feel alone, invisible, and unimportant, like the person you love is rarely there for you emotionally: so you pursue your partner and even have occasional outbursts just to try to get through to them? Do you feel overwhelmed, like no matter what you do it is never good enough to please the person you love: so you defend yourself, shut down, or turn away in your relationship? Are you feeling frustrated and stuck, like there is no way you can get through to the person you care about? Are you feeling depressed and anxious, and the problems in your relationship seem to make it worse? You don't have to stay stuck. There is hope.

Has the state of the world left you freaking exhausted? Do you drag yourself through your days at work or school with a fake smile on your face? Do you spend more of your free time than you'd like either stuck in a blanket burrito listening to Bo Burnham's "Inside" on repeat and drinking too much or catering to everyone's needs but your own?

Mental health is steadily gaining global recognition. Fortunately, with exposure comes greater access to treatment for those with mental health concerns. Unfortunately, the flip-side to increased exposure is standardization; society is quick to turn to diagnoses and labels to simplify the complexities of human beings. Although diagnoses can be helpful, it is important to remember: you are not just not a label or a diagnosis. With Cal Hilsman at Compassionate Acceptance for Life (CAL), you will find a therapist that prizes each client as unique and encourages self exploration beyond the standard internet search.

Life can be difficult in a million big and small ways. I see therapy as a place to help you make sense of it where you can and learn to cope in those hard places that persist. At its core, counseling is a collaborative relationship: you bring your concerns and a willingness to actively participate in your own wellness and I bring professional training and experience as well a number of techniques and interventions that can help you meet your goals. As we work together you will see an improvement in your mood, relationships, and ability to handle all facets of life in a healthy, helpful way.

I am here to help you start taking steps towards creating the life you want for yourself. You are already taking one of the most difficult steps by deciding to reach out for help! I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for you as you navigate life's challenges. I will partner with you to help you work through past and current challenges and begin to implement positive changes in your life.

Let me start off by saying I understand what it is like looking for a therapist. You want to find someone that you can feel comfortable with and can trust. I give you, the most important person in the room, the safe space you need to talk about the issues that plague you. I will help you recognize any negative and challenging thoughts and give you the ‘tools’ needed to change those thought patterns. I help those that are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and more to move past those feelings of 'being stuck'.

Do you find yourself weighed down by the thoughts in your head? Do you keep saying yes when you really want to say no? Do you find it hard to speak up for yourself or ask for what you need? Feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Have you had a lifelong bad relationship with your body? Let me come alongside you and help you navigate the sometimes choppy waters of life. If you're looking for a new way of being in the world, with yourself and others, I'd love to help. I enjoy working with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, body image/food issues, and relationship conflict.
