Hey, I’m Heather.

I own Be Kind To Your Mind, Mental Health Counseling, PLLC. I am a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege in New York. I have working as a therapist since 2015, and earned my license in 2019. I have worked in a variety of settings including a substance use clinic, private practice, and hospital network.

Work with Me

My Approach

Patient-Centered.

I believe the person sitting in front of me is their own expert. I see them as a whole person, rather than their diagnosis and I allow them to lead the session to where they want with some gentle guidance.

Evidence Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Talk therapy has its’ benefits; however, we need to implement strategies to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking. CBT is perfect for enacting change.
