Heather Foster

I am licensed in California with 20+ years of professional work experience in counseling psychology and case management. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and you already have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming any situations that challenge you. We are all experimenting on the best way to BE in this journey we call life. I do not follow a script or rigid psychiatric protocol. I will authentically meet you where you are at and we will together decide what you need for your next steps. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to getting to know the real you!

While I am trained in a variety of therapeutic methods, my approach is fundamental relational, eclectic and experiential. The therapeutic relationship is critical to your healing journey, as is your ability to explore your emotions and experiences in a safe environment. I show up authentically and do my best to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

Our first session will lay the foundation for our therapeutic relationship as we get to know one another, explore your wants and needs, and establish expectations for moving forward. I tend to be action oriented so please be ready to receive homework.

I enjoy helping you live your happiest life and becoming the best you possible! I am very transparent because I believe that we are all on this planet doing the best we can do with the skills and tools we were raised with. You are not alone and we have to all work on ourselves. I provide a safe and loving place for you to explore and grow into the most joyful and empowered version of yourself. I provide ideas and options to evolve. I have had years of education and training but that does not make me the expert of you or your life. There is no right or wrong, just what are we creating with the choices and habits we are living on a daily basis. I am here to support you and help you define what is working and not working in your life and systematically change a step at a time.
