About Heather Burgess
Her clinical experience has included providing in-home therapy for families where a child or adolescent was at risk of out-of-home placement, using a systems-based approach to coordinate supports across school, home, legal, social services, and prosocial activities. In that context she has drawn from Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and art-based interventions to support change.
Heather also has offered private counseling to adolescents and adults aged 13 and up, addressing issues such as substance use, depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, anger management, personality-related concerns, and life transitions including divorce or relocation. Her practice emphasizes an integrative model grounded strongly in CBT and informed by trauma-focused perspectives.
In clinical work Heather adopts a collaborative, action-oriented stance that prioritizes clients’ goals and lived expertise. She aims to help people expand self-awareness, set specific treatment objectives, and build practical skills so they feel heard, validated, and supported while making meaningful change.
