Heather Raitz

Heather Raitz, a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, is committed to helping individuals become more aware of their unique strengths and inherent qualities. Her approach empowers clients to navigate their life circumstances with enhanced self-awareness and confidence. Heather specializes in working with those seeking to identify and address the underlying causes of their challenges, particularly through exploring childhood experiences to resolve current symptoms. She believes in creating a safe therapeutic environment, which is crucial for fostering optimal growth, healing, and recovery, equipping clients with resilience against future life's hurdles. Heather recognizes that quick fixes such as tips or lists are unsustainable and may lead to increased anxiety or feelings of inadequacy. Instead, she employs a bottom-up therapeutic approach that enhances emotional regulation and provides a solid foundation for doing the necessary, rewarding work of personal development. She understands the courage it takes to reach out for help, especially when confronting personal experiences that might evoke self-doubt, and she values each client’s journey towards gaining insight and essential skills to approach setbacks from new perspectives.
