Heather Metzger

Heather Metzger is a compassionate psychoanalytic therapist specializing in helping individuals navigate repetitive relationship challenges, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression, and men's issues. Her work often addresses problems such as poor self-esteem, loneliness, disconnection, the false self, obsessions, addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Many individuals seek her support when they feel that something isn't quite right, yet cannot pinpoint the cause.

Through meaningful dialogue, she assists clients in exploring their inner critic, relationship break-ups, misunderstandings, or a sense of lost direction, working collaboratively to uncover deeper underlying causes. With a rich background as a college English lecturer focused on film, representation, and critical theory, Heather is passionate about facilitating one-on-one sessions where clients can articulate their innermost thoughts through the transformative power of conversation. Her training in Clinical Psychology includes valuable experience with diverse populations through internships at esteemed organizations like Aids Project Los Angeles, Valley Community Counseling Center, and Walter Reed Middle School, as well as providing support to psychiatric outpatients. She plays a collaborative role in a client's healing journey, especially when liaising with psychiatrists for those grappling with new or chronic diagnoses.
