Heather Cooper

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be patient and calm.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started with an interest in the way the human mind and humans function, seeking to understand both the internal mental processes (thoughts, feelings) and the external actions we take. I have found myself in the 'counselor' position throughout my life.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. We'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal mental health objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it's always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health.
