Building new pathways toward healing and growth.
Heather Harper, AMFT
Associate Marriage and Family therapist
What it’s like to work with me.
My goal as a therapist is to provide a supportive space where you can navigate life’s challenges with greater ease, clarity, and confidence. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or worn down by daily demands, therapy offers a safe place to be yourself, feel heard, and begin building new pathways toward healing and growth.
As a mother of two young adults who experience the world differently, and one neurotypical teen, I have firsthand insight into the joys and complexities of navigating both individual needs and family dynamics. This personal journey has deeply influenced my work and strengthened my empathy for children, teens, and adults who may feel misunderstood or weighed down by anxiety, depression, or identity concerns.
I specialize in supporting the neurodivergent population, as well as those struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, or transitions across the lifespan. I believe every person’s story matters, and I’m committed to honoring culture, identity, and lived experiences as essential parts of the healing process.
Whether you are coming to therapy as an individual, a couple, or a family, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you develop resilience, deeper connections, and a greater sense of self.
