Hello! I am Heather Vance, a Licensed Professional Counselor & Art Therapist enjoying 22 years of helping children, teens, adults, and families work through painful life events and build skills essential to wellbeing: self-awareness, emotional regulation, adaptability, value-based living and effective relationship practices. I am EMDR Certified and specialize in helping children and adults with ADHD understand their brains, manage challenges, and harness their unique cognitive gifts. Change is a process, not an "on/off" switch; lasting change occurs in stages and is characterized by ambivalence, failure, adaptation, and growth.

I use highly effective, evidence based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and somatic wisdom.
Do you find yourself getting stuck in patterns, having the same fights with your partner over and over? Do you sometimes feel alone in your relationship or like you've become more like roommates than lovers? These feelings can be discouraging and isolating, but you are not alone. I empower partners to navigate these common challenges in a way that gets to the heart of the matter. Together we work to co-create a new experience of each other, with more authenticity and intimacy. You are capable of achieving what we all want and need- to love and be loved, to experience joy and connection, and to live a life with purpose and meaning.

I utilize Relational Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Structural Dissociation, Polyvagal theory, Attachment theory, and other evidenced-based interventions to guide individuals towards healing.
I am passionate about empowering individuals struggling with the various ways trauma may show up for them. Trauma responses may show up through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, physical health concerns, and so much more. These responses can also intensify when we go through challenges and transitions in life. Trauma is not "what happened to you", it is "how what happened lives in you today". With the use of evidence-based interventions, such as EMDR, there is hope for healing and learning new behaviors that contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

My approach is person-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed utilizing several evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Trauma Focused, and Rogerian to name a few.
Accepting New Clients. Sometimes life throws a curveball (or ten) and things end up sideways; different than anticipated. Sometimes we fall and might need support getting back up. I support clients healing trauma, navigating anxiety, life with ADHD, processing loss, depression, identity, medical challenges, relationships, life transitions, meaning, PTSD, or simply seeking joy. I enjoy helping clients on their journey healing, learning, changing, growing, shapeshifting however they decide they want to while becoming a healthier, more balanced self.

I strive to incorporate evidence-based interventions for best outcomes, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Structural Dissociation, CBT, and mindfulness.
Do you find yourself struggling to keep afloat, noticing that despite all your work something's missing? Are you always pushing for more and more, wondering when you'll finally be “good enough," yet that inner critic still says you're insignificant, bad, broken, or just "wrong?" I would like to help you break that cycle. I specialize in supporting high-achieving adults to harness the compassion and power within themselves to live their dreams and chase their goals, all while feeling whole and fulfilled. I understand that self-doubt, comparison, and criticism are powerful forces that can take a serious toll on your mental health.

Some techniques I incorporate are - DBT, EMDR, somatic exercises and embodiment to fully release emotions, heal trauma and connect more fully with yourself in a self-compassionate way.
In a world filled with constant demands and pressures, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected. It can be hard to regulate ourselves during stressful times because of past trauma or simply because we don’t have the skills to remain calm amidst the chaos. Beginning therapy is a big step in helping you create the life you want; one that you feel confident in handling whatever comes your way.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDR Approved Consultant, I journey with clients to understand what is at the root of their symptoms to find freedom and healing.
Some of my favorite words come from Brene Brown when she said, "Empathy has no script. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of 'You Are Not Alone.' " I am here to provide that space for you while you work to overcome trauma or significant life experiences. It takes courage and vulnerability to begin the therapy process. I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you.

I utilize techniques that I have gained through my training in EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to restore a sense of calm within the brain and body.
Sometimes, life presents us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These unresolved and unhealed wounds can hinder our ability to move forward and live an empowered life. In therapy, my goal is to provide you with a safe space to examine and remove unhelpful patterns from your past, and allow for transformational healing to occur. I incorporate what I have learned from my experience as a clinician at multiple residential eating disorder treatment centers as well as a residential PTSD/trauma treatment center.
