Heather Oreta

My communication style

I practice direct, honest, open-minded, and compassionate communication. I'm comfortable with challenging conversations when they serve your growth, and I welcome your feedback to build the strongest therapeutic relationship possible. I'm assertive about promoting your best interests.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm drawn to this work through my own experiences with life challenges and trauma across family, personal, and professional contexts. I've done extensive self-work to live my best life, and that fuels my passion for empowering others to increase their confidence and self-worth.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through conversation about your motives, hopes, and dreams. I understand goals can feel scary or out of reach, and conflicting feelings are okay. Together, we'll create specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that honor where you are.

Our first session

Our first session focuses on getting to know each other and your reasons for seeking therapy. We'll discuss your family and relationship history, explore your thoughts and emotions, and begin creating a plan to address your concerns. We'll also set initial goals and practice skills you can use right away.
