Hi there, I'm Heather Kaminski, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and a Certified Trauma Professional. I am trained in EMDR, ACT, DBT, Grief Counseling, Religious Trauma, and hold a certification in NLP.

I’ve spent the earlier years of my life feeling lost and like I didn’t belong or just that I was so behind it was almost impossible to catch up. The way everyone else showed up in the world so seamlessly and moved about their space was fascinating to me, inspiring too - but ultimately more and more isolating. As everything continued to feel deeply off, I began to embark on a healing journey through therapy, spirituality and movement. As this journey has transformed me and my energy, it also became the way I desire to help others. The modalities I integrate with can include Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Expressive Arts. I understand the sensitivities around life’s challenges and the profound impact it can have on our lives and my hope is that therapy will empower you for positive changes. Start your healing journey today and reach out to me via email or cell. If we are not a good fit, i'll provide you with referrals to make sure you get the help you need.
