Dr. Heather Cresswell

I believe therapy should be a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and addiction and recovery.

I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision and have extensive experience in both clinical practice and leadership. My approach is compassionate, practical, and individualized to each person. Together, we will work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

Whether you are going through a difficult transition, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, working through past experiences, or simply ready for something in your life to feel different, I would be honored to support you in taking that next step.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs, goals, and experiences. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, EMDR, and trauma-informed care.

I focus on helping clients gain insight into patterns that may be contributing to feeling stuck, while also developing practical tools that can be used outside of the therapy room. My goal is to help you build greater self-awareness, confidence, and resilience while creating meaningful and sustainable change in your life.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin identifying what you would like to gain from therapy. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and the areas where you would most like to see change.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. I strive to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where you can be yourself and move at a pace that feels right for you. By the end of our first few sessions, we will begin developing clear, meaningful goals and a plan for moving forward together.
