Heather Pesicka, LMFT

Hello, my name is Heather Pesicka. I am a licensed therapist that works with diverse adult clients who are facing complex challenges, while bringing a grounded, supportive, and nonjudgemental approach to every session. I started my clinical experience as a grief counselor with hospice for two years. I then continued my career journey working at a trauma treatment center for two years where I received training in EMDR and crisis interventions working with clients struggling with co-occurring diagnoses that include depression, anxiety, self-harming behavior, anger issues, behavioral problems, substance use, and self-esteem issues related to past trauma. I use multiple different therapeutic approaches including CBT, DBT, IFS, TF-CBT, EMDR, attachment theory, Gottman method, exposure response prevention, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy.

My goal is to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered while addressing challenges related to finding relief from shame and guilt, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, and inner criticism through self-compassion and self-understanding. I believe in the transformative power of understanding, connection, and healing. My approach is compassionate and personalized while blending evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for your life journey.
