Heather Corsello

Hi, I'm Heather! I have a passion for helping others overcome challenges and achieve personal growth by changing maladaptive tendencies and behaviors. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from Winona State University in Minnesota and my Master's degree in Social Work from University of Illinois at Chicago. I have 20+ years of experience as a social worker in schools, working with children with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression and intellectual disabilities, as well as, working with adults and their families in long term care facilities.

I encourage my clients to develop coping skills, build resilience, and cultivate self-awareness to better understand how patterns of behaviors may impact their lives and their relationships with others. I understand that each individual is unique and requires personalized care, so I take a holistic and strengths based approach to therapy. I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic, solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness techniques, and EMDR therapy for clients that have experienced trauma, as well as integrating neuroscience-based strategies as a Certified Brain Health Professional to meet the specific needs of my clients.

I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am an ally to the LGBQTIA + community and a strong supporter of social justice reform and equity initiatives. Through active listening and with empathy, I strive to build a therapeutic alliance that supports and empowers my clients on their journey towards healing and personal growth.
