Ms. Shy earned her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Since 2012, Heather has been helping individuals and their families overcome a variety of behavioral and mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, life adjustment, and anger, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy techniques. She continues to enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and their families and her work includes an additional focus on psychotherapy for women and maternal mental health.

I encourage individuals and families to empower themselves and identify their needs for growth by providing a safe, comfortable space that is nonjudgmental and individual focused. I provide information using practical tools to make peace with your past, transform stress and trauma, decrease anxiety and depression, live with purpose, and rewire your brain for happiness.

Are you tired of feeling this way yet?! Anxious, unhappy, edgy, unsatisfied...maybe alone. Have you not been yourself and you can't stand it anymore.

Please don't wait until things get even worse. Like a car, a therapy "tune up" will get you back on track before the engine blows! If you are tired of how things are going and committed to improvement, it's time to do something.

My ideal client is someone seeking change. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or struggling in a relationship can be exhausting and effect many parts of our lives. It is my goal to help you seek insight and make changes that can have an effect on daily life. Each person is unique, and so is the therapy process. I am devoted to working with you to seek what you need from therapy. Change can be uncomfortable, but I am here to support you.

I have been in private practice in Fayetteville, AR since 1989. My focus is on working with adults who are dealing with various life issues ranging from personal to professional relationships. I am very interested in looking at how family of origin issues as well as issues regarding past trauma, gender and racial identity, etc. impact your decisions and day to day life. Anxiety, depression and relationship issues are typical causes for calling my office.

I absolutely love watching people flourish and becoming 'the change they wish to see in the world'. As your therapist, I will become your guide in making this change. I will give you the tools and skills you desire to help manage your journey on becoming a more healthier, happier you. My approach is creative and interactive, based on your unique problems and desired goals of treatment.

I believe everyone has the innate ability to change. My role as your therapist is to facilitate change in areas you want to see improvement. I work from a person centered approach which is a nondirective, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process. Rather than viewing people as inherently flawed, with problematic behaviors and thoughts that require treatment, person-centered therapy identifies that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. I take clients ages 12 and older effected by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relational issues and work stress.

I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Arkansas and have served the mental health needs of the Northwest Arkansas area since 2004. I am clinically trained in building and maintaining relationships and have years of experience providing counseling services in the Northwest Arkansas and River Valley school districts. I have provided therapy to clients of all ages, maintaining the purpose of "meeting the client where they are at" to ensure a foundation of empathy and a safe place to process through life struggles.

Anxiety, panic, fear, grief, anger, irritability, insomnia, relapse, depression and shutting down are all normal responses to the trauma of the extensive fear and isolation we are currently experiencing. Whether distancing alone or with family, Covid 19 is making a serious impact on the mental and emotional wellbeing of millions of men, women and children. Many people are now experiencing acute anxiety, and PTSD. Those who were already dealing with mental health issues are at a very high risk of developing PTSD.

I have experience with adults, adolescents, and children. I work individuals from diverse backgrounds. I am committed to bringing a client's lifestyle, perspectives, and interests to the forefront of therapeutic work. I ask clients to mindfully incorporate therapeutic work into their day-to-day lives.

I have maintained a private counseling practice for over 30 years. I work with individual, relationship and family issues. Cognitive behavioral strategies are utilized for skills training such as anger management, stress reduction, communication skills, and emotional regulation. Couples counseling and stepfamilies are areas of special interest. Theoretical perspectives in these areas include interpersonal relations concepts such as object relations theory and relational psychodynamics. Individual counseling focusing on depression, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and personality concerns tend to be approached from a psychodynamic psychotherapy perspective.
