Heidi van der Walde, LCPC

Introduction: I provide individual, couple, family and group counseling. I specialize in helping individuals with relationship issues, mood disorders, life transitions, grief and loss, career and workplace issues, assertiveness, self-esteem and trauma. I have been in the field for over 20 years; and I have training in cutting-edge treatment modalities such as EMDR. I conduct in-depth assessments and quickly get to the heart of the issue, so that you can move forward toward achieving a more satisfying and fulfilling life. As relationships are at the heart of most issues, I have significant background and training and enjoy working with couples to help them achieve greater insight and understanding into their dynamics and gain greater communication and intimacy. I also help individuals improve relationships in all areas of their lives, so they can communicate with greater assertiveness and self-esteem. I operate from a strength-based perspective to move clients forward toward resolving issues. I work with individuals, couples and families to develop or hone more effective coping strategies. I am eclectic, and I blend many different theoretical perspectives as well as what I have learned to be is effective. I am holistic in my approach, and I assess the whole person to ensure the most effective treatment. I listen attentively to my clients' needs and customize the therapy to the unique needs of the individual, couple or family. In addition to clinical counseling, I also have a background in career counseling. I work with individuals in the midst of a career transition, helping them find solutions to on-the-job problems, conduct career exploration, job search strategies, resume writing and interview techniques. I look forward to working with you on your journey toward a more peaceful and satisfying life!
