Heather Girardin

Heather Girardin understands that as individuals journey through life, they are shaped by their interactions and experiences. Some of these leave behind positive impressions, while others may not. Life can bring stress, anxiety, and depression, often stemming from family dynamics, work pressures, academic challenges, and relationship difficulties. Recognizing that seeking help can be daunting, Heather welcomes those in need with open arms. She employs a diverse range of counseling techniques tailored to the unique experiences of each client, understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. With extensive experience in various environments, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care nursing homes, acute care hospitals, emergency rooms, mental health crisis centers, and even in corrections settings, Heather is well-equipped to assist a wide demographic, including teens, adults, and elders over 65. She offers support to youth navigating life's transitions and couples aiming for improved communication. Heather appreciates that finding the right counselor can feel overwhelming, akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, but she is dedicated to partnering with clients to discover whether their therapeutic journey aligns. Her approach often integrates elements of compassion-focused, trauma-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies, ensuring a comprehensive support system in addressing bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and other general issues.
