I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.

I started my career working with adolescents that were pregnant and parenting in high school. This opened the door to my various experiences working with young, growing adults and families. In the heart of St. Louis, MO, as a school-based therapist, I gained further knowledge of the racial and poverty challenges taking place in our communities. Fast forward three years and becoming a social worker in Colorado, I managed a variety of cases involving children and adolescents experiencing trauma, parental abuse and neglect, couples counseling and mediation, and managing chaotic situations. In this time, not only did it allow me to gain experience in the child welfare and court systems, it reminded me of my true passion and brought me back to my primary focus. I am happy to be back on track with my passion in therapy and helping adolescents, families, and couples in their time of crisis or distress.

I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.

I believe when people find their purpose they find motivation. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands others challenges and work at ensuring the client understands the why of what one does to foster behavioral changes.
