I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Mente Serena Counseling. I hold a B.S. in Psychology and a M.A in Forensic and Legal Psychology and a M.A. in Counseling. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults across different settings. As the daughter of Dominican immigrant parents, I understand how culture, family, and life experiences shape who we are. I now primarily support teens and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stress, and I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel seen and understood.
Welcome! I’m Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved clinical supervisor, and I’m dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centered care and professional guidance. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in an overthinking spiral, you’re not alone. Many teens and young adults feel pressure to keep up with school, work, relationships, and expectations, while quietly struggling with motivation, confidence, and emotional exhaustion. I enjoy working with Gen Z clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and stress related to school or life transitions. My style is highly relational and collaborative, offering a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Illinois, I provide compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based mental health care to individuals, couples, and families. I bring genuine empathy, strong interpersonal skills, and a broad cross-cultural perspective to my practice.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and grief counseling. I also offer couples counseling to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection, as well as support for stress, burnout, and emotional regulation.
I work with adults, adolescents, and couples, and I'm passionate about supporting people from all backgrounds on their journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth.
I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My approach to therapy is solution focused and client centered with a bit of fun and humor. I believe that a simple and casual approach makes therapy more palatable, allowing for openness and individualism. I work with my clients to find the ways that work for them to reach the goals that they would like to reach. I follow your lead towards achieving your goals

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington
Finding the right ADHD provider in Arlington starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD can help with focus, time management, emotional regulation, and building day-to-day structure — often using approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Many people with ADHD benefit from working with both a therapist and a prescriber.
Arlington is part of the DC metro area, where demand for mental health care is high and provider availability can vary. When narrowing your search, consider what matters most — whether that's a provider experienced with adult ADHD, someone who works with children and teens, or a specific therapeutic approach. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.
