Heather Schmidt

My communication style

My goal is to help clients feel safe to be honest and talk about anything they need to. I provide compassionate support. I am genuine, caring, and a great listener.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love listening to others and hearing their stories. I deeply respect the dignity of all human beings and appreciate the diversity of life experiences one may have. Life can be a tough journey, and I believe everyone deserves support. It's an honor to be invited into someone's story and to provide concrete help in their time of need.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach to goal setting, always ensuring that the goals are driven by what my client wants and needs. I help clients break down larger goals into attainable steps, so they can be more in touch with their own progress.

Our first session

Our first session will be about getting to know one another and building trust. I use both closed and open-ended questions to help gather information about your history and learn what contributed to the concerns you are currently facing. We will develop mutually agreed-upon next steps and an area of focus for our work together.
