Heidi Schlig, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Heidi!

I believe everyone has experienced something that shapes who they are today, and I'm passionate about supporting you in achieving your goals and finding resilience. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, I provide a safe space to explore your feelings, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence.

My focus

I love working with various populations and finding a way to connect with every one of my clients. Utilizing not only my personal experience but the tools I've learned along the way within education, as well as clinical work, to best support my clients in meeting their overall goals.

My approach

I use Trauma-Informed Care to create a safe and supportive environment. This approach involves understanding the impact of trauma, recognizing symptoms, and prioritizing your empowerment and autonomy. I integrate trauma-sensitive practices like validating experiences, promoting choice, and fostering safety to facilitate healing.

My communication style

My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I create a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, valued, and supported. Together, we'll identify your strengths, explore your concerns, and develop practical strategies to help you reach your goals and enhance your overall well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about using my own experiences to support others in achieving their goals and finding resilience. I believe everyone has experienced something that shapes who they are today, and I'm committed to helping you navigate your healing journey with dignity and respect.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you recognize your strengths and utilize them to overcome challenges. By focusing on your existing abilities and successes, we'll work towards solutions that lead to positive outcomes and sustainable change. I aim to foster empowerment, self-efficacy, and hope throughout our work together.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll work together to identify your strengths, explore your concerns, and begin developing practical strategies to help you reach your goals. I'll create a safe space where you feel heard and supported as we start your therapeutic journey with collaboration and respect.
