About Heather
Heather Neilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the strain of life transitions. Heather uses clear, steady guidance to help people find their footing again and build everyday coping skills.
She frames therapy around attachment and body-based work. That means paying attention to how relationships shaped current patterns and how sensations in the body relate to emotions. Sessions move at a gentle pace and focus on practical steps as well as deeper understanding.
Heather draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to notice how different parts of a person react under stress. She uses trauma-focused and somatic tools for people who carry distress in their bodies. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of personal agency.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She trusts each person’s ability to heal and helps them use that strength to make changes that matter in daily life. Heather aims to help clients reconnect with purpose, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded.
