Heather Bauer

Heather Bauer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Liberty, MO


I have over 15 years of experience as a therapist after receiving a Master's Degree at the University of Missouri. In 2011, I went through extensive training to become EMDR certified. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as addiction counseling. In March of 2025 I became certified in grief counseling.

I am passionate about guiding my clients toward their goals with warmth and non-judgement. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and strive to strike a balance between helping someone understand the "why" and the "how" throughout therapy. Asking why did I come to be here; what have I been doing that isn't working anymore and how can I go about change? Pain, whether relational or within work-life can be an invitation to make the changes necessary to grow. I believe that growth toward a successful and healthy future is possible with deeper understanding of one's past and taking steps toward change.

I have interests and experience in serving adult clients who have experienced a trauma in the past, relational loss, anxiety/depression, abuse, career challenges and addiction. My training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems have helped me as I come alongside those who have experienced various types of trauma. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which offers practical tools for change.

If you are looking for a warm therapist who will gently challenge you to take a look at your situation through fresh eyes, I can help. Everyone experiences pain in life. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk alongside us for a season.

As a compassion-centered therapist (LCSW, 2016; MSW, KU, 2012) who has done her own fair share of healing and empowerment work, it is my joy to walk alongside individuals in their healing journeys. My days are spent helping clients find healing after trauma, hope that replaces the despair from depression, peace and strength to overcome anxiety and panic, focus and coping to calm the chaos of ADHD, and brave overcoming of intrusive thoughts in OCD.

My goal is to help you see this through Scripture, which provides guidance and navigation through the toughest times in life.
