Hi there, I'm Heather!

Hi! My name is Heather George and I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for almost 17 years. “You may not always control the path, but you can control how you approach the journey.”

My approach

Life is unpredictable and no matter how one plans, the unexpected will happen at some point. If you always focus on the things you can’t control, you won’t find peace or happiness in life. You’ll constantly desire a life you can’t have, upsetting your well-being and affecting your future. The important thing is to focus on how you handle the journey that you are on. When struggles arise, the opportunity for growth is huge. I would love to join you on your journey so that you can grow and thrive in life. I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist, using a mix of family systems, solution-focused and client-centered therapy.

My focus

I have extensive experience working with depression, self-injurious behavior, and the LGBTQ population. I also have experience working with anxiety, trauma, and family issues. I treat adults and adolescents. I also work with couples and families.

My communication style

I work in a conversational style. I create a comfortable, informal environment in sessions.

My goals for you

You lead the way. I will assist you with setting goals, but these should be your goals, not mine.

My first session with you

During the first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy. We will discuss what you hope to gain from therapy. We will assess if it feels like a good fit.
