Heather Parente

Hello! I provide empathy, warmth, and compassion to be with your struggles, and to help you to move through your stuck points to a state of feeling well in a safe environment. You will remember that you are in charge of your healing, and the potential for how you want to grow is up to you. Every person is unique with what they need. I use a holistic approach to help you to move through feeling stuck to a state of feeling well in a safe environment. I have literally talked with so many different cultures and personalities of people through my work or personal life, and know that I will enjoy connecting with you as well because I love working with people. My Headway schedule does not reflect my actual schedule. Please contact me prior to scheduling any sessions, and I will let you know if that time will work for either in-person at my Fort Collins office, or virtually (anywhere in Colorado).

We will work on challenging your thoughts together, in a supportive way, to transform yourself into healthier thinking patterns. I may encourage you to get out of your head and into your body, to move into stronger ways of well-being. We may investigate the internal parts of yourself that make you act certain ways, and shift those parts so that you feel more in balance. We may look at how to change some actions that you are doing that just don’t work anymore. Some people like more concrete ways of therapy, and some prefer to just sit and talk, or even both.

I design your treatment plan to work for you, and it could change depending on what is going on with your progress. Each person is unique with what they need. At the beginning of our work together, it is important to commit to attending regular sessions so that you will start to feel better faster. In sessions we look at different ways of being, doing, and thinking. By staying consistent with attending sessions and maybe some work between sessions, the results of your effort will show.
