I will often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Spirituality, Mindfulness, and Trauma Focused.
Hi! I'm Lindsay Heber. I am a licensed Psychologist and I am passionate about helping people reduce their emotional pain and suffering. I work collaboratively with each person and lead with compassion and an open mind. I believe a great way towards healing is by working holistically and addressing the mind, body and soul connection. I love working with people trying to work through trauma, experiencing anxiety, issues with self-esteem, depression, or looking to incorporate their spirituality into their healing. I work with adults and any gender identity.

Working together, we will identify aspects of your life that impact your well-being, include not only the mind but also your physical health, your support systems, your cultural identity, your environment, and your faith/ spirituality.
I believe one of the critical components of therapy is providing a safe and trusting environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and honestly. My approach is to meet you where you are and focus on concerns that are important to you.

People find me when their old coping strategies stop working. If your usual strategies for handling life just…broke... you're not the only one going through that. You might have tried to OUT-PERFORM your pain. Or maybe you tried to OUT-RUN your pain. Finally, you tried to OUT-PRAY your pain. All of these strategies kind-of work a little. Thankfully. Hard work, moving and breathing, and spirituality are an important part of recovering from stress. But these strategies don’t work all the way because the mind and body combine to create a specific reaction when we’ve been through something awful.

If you have a major suffering/unshakable adversity, this may be an archetypal encounter or "Dark Night of the Soul" period preceding your spiritual consciousness evolution. You may have an unfulfilled soul contract & working with me can be a key step in understanding terms of any such contracts & how to exert your conscious free will over them NOW. Most contracts are relational in nature & primarily include (not limited to) twin flame connections, dark twin flame entanglements, parent-child agreements, birth chart conditions, congenital conditions, past-life karmic carry-over, future action karmic retrograde, energetic patterns,etc.

My goal is to restore health, well-being, and purpose, and to facilitate connection between clients and their loved ones. I believe that problems arise when people become disconnected from themselves and others. They become stuck in patterns of fear and anxious clinging, detachment and avoidance, disappointment and anger. The unpleasant residue of old traumas, disappointments, and losses interferes with people's success and joy in life. I help people release old patterns and reconnect to their life energy so they can enjoy healthy functioning, experience lovingkindness for self and others, and remember their life purpose.

People select me as a therapist due to my non-judgmental demeanor and 30+ years of experience. I believe it is important to be professional yet not clinically stuffy, humble yet confident and knowledgeable yet still teachable. I love life and people. The mistakes I've made have been my greatest teachers. Nobody's perfect. We all have problems....but we all have room for growth & improvement. It's a crazy world. The goals of being able to keep our feet firmly planted on the ground, in order to fulfill one's responsibilities in life, yet keep one 's 'hand in the sky', in order to experience joy are pragmatic, realistic and attainable.

My belief is that we are happiest when we are mentally, spiritually, and physically balanced. Sometimes things happen that disrupt this balance, and impact our ability to lead a fulfilling life. My goal is to partner with people to discover balance, as well as provide hope and healing to those who are hurting. I know it can be uncomfortable thinking about going to counseling, and many wait until things seem hopeless. I believe that there is always hope, and with the right tools and support, you can move forward and begin enjoying life to the fullest.

Therapy can benefit and serve as a powerful strategy to learn tailored tools to help you navigate your emotions and put you back on track.

Spirituality Therapists

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
