Heather Thompson

My name is Heather Thompson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I came into this field because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live their best life, regardless of what has happened leading up to this point in time. I have worked largely with individuals aged 17 to mid-70’s, from various backgrounds/cultures. These individuals presented with anxiety, depression, other serious mental illnesses, trauma, life transitions/stressors, relationship difficulties and grief. I have seen the most progress in those willing to safely step outside their comfort zone, which is where I have seen the most growth occur. I use a warm, nonjudgmental, Person-Centered, Strengths-Based approach. I am here to support and offer guidance to you throughout your sessions. We will work to identify what strengths you already have, which can build your sense of empowerment, then build on them from there. I also include CBT, DBT and Trauma-Focused therapy when fitting to your goals. When we first start meeting we will work on building rapport. You can see my style and get to know me some. I know it is hard to start working with someone you don't know yet. We will chat about what is bringing you to therapy, sharing with me only what you are comfortable sharing. We will work at your pace toward the goals you have identified for treatment. **I am now approved for the following insurances: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar, Oxford and United Healthcare. ** I can provide SuperBill.
