Heidi Scholten-Haw

Hi, I'm Heidi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Life Thrive Solutions dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, support, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Calvin College and my Master of Social Work from Barry University. Over the past 10 years, I've worked in outpatient mental health, residential treatment, and healthcare settings, providing therapy to adolescents, adults, older adults, and families experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

I have extensive experience helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation. My clinical approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique goals. I utilize evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, accepted, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season, working to heal from past experiences, or striving for personal growth, I'm committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move toward the life you want to create. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing and wellness.
