Heather MacLachlan

I would love to have the honor of supporting you, to work toward being empowered to be the highest version of yourself!

I earned my MSW, and I am licensed a Clinical Social Worker. I also hold a Master of Science in Hospice and Palliative Studies. I have early work experience as an ordained minister working as an On Call Hospital Chaplain for five years.

In the agency I worked at in the past, I worked in empowering clients that struggled with ADHD to feel supported in understanding their gifts and strengths, and to learn coping skills and psycho education to gain new insights and feel stronger within themselves.

I also had a passion for working with women, especially older women, guiding them toward fierce compassion, along with re-creating themselves as they grew in strength and felt their possibilities in a new way.

This is all still vitally important to me in my practice as I support clients in therapy. I am here for you, as a deep listener, with empathy and compassion guiding you toward making the changes you wish to see within yourself.

I come from a strength's perspective, empowering clients to believe in their highest potential, so they can believe in themselves and truly flourish. I have a background in Mindfulness and Self Compassion. I have also trained in Compassion Focused Therapy. I am fully present, with empathy and compassion for the client to pursue their needs and feelings. I am very intuitive. I am also a very spiritual person.

Communication is critical for successful relationships, and I offer communication skills through Non- Violent Communication (NVC) for improving relating to others. Sometimes I may offer guided meditations, give out homework; that may include Mindfulness skills and practices, breathing practices, affirmations, and calming practices for your nervous system.

Someone who truly listens, sees you, and wants to hear your story, and learn how you can best be supported in therapy. I am here for you fully present, with empathy and compassion.
