Heather Narayan, LPC
Every one of us encounters situations which challenge our ability to be healthy and happy. I believe you have the capability to make changes that will result in increased well-being, whether you experience chronic worry, sadness, dissatisfaction with your life or relationships, or have suffered trauma. I am committed to providing care that is personalized, supportive, nonjudgmental, and, most importantly, effective. I offer treatment focused on helping you identify your unique goals then work hand-in-hand to help you achieve them; finding ways to overcome obstacles and setbacks along the way.
I provide counseling guided by a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) approach to help clients develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the regular ups and downs of life. I also offer education in the use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Behavior Modification techniques, and Mindfulness training. I serve adults, children, individuals, couples, and families.
I specialize in the treatment of:
· Anxiety Disorders: General, Social, Phobias, Panic, and OCD
· Mood Disorders: Depression, Bipolar I and II
· Adjustment Disorders: Managing symptoms related to current stressors
· Interpersonal Issues: Communication, family stressors, getting along with others
· Behavior Change: Breaking habits or creating more effective behavior patterns
· Mindfulness: The ability to focus on the present and be more purposeful
· Stress Management: Developing skills to manage and/or decrease stress
· Couples Work: Issues specific to couples and romantic partnerships
· Parenting Issues: Guidance and training related to effective behavior management
· General Wellbeing: Support in creating intentional habits and structures to be well
I have been to 4 other therapists and no one compares to Heather. She provides a safe and understanding environment and you work together to create a plan each session for takeaways and things to work on. Therapy with her provided me the structure to actually make changes in my life instead of just feeling like I was rambling and helpless and getting no where. Heather is amazing and I find myself using things she taught me or thinking of things she said to me almost daily.
