Heather Paxton

Hi there, I'm Heather!

I provide compassionate, culturally responsive therapy rooted in social justice. I empower individuals from diverse backgrounds by creating a safe, inclusive space to explore identities, process trauma, and heal in ways that honor your unique lived experiences and address systemic inequalities impacting your well-being.

My focus

I work with people from diverse racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and the LGBTQIA+ community, who are looking for a space that is not only affirming but also deeply aware of the broader societal forces shaping their experiences. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, and the emotional impact of systemic oppression.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and draws from a variety of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness, while always considering the larger societal forces at play.
