About Paul Heft

Paul Heft offers an individualized approach that focuses on developing concrete solutions for the obstacles clients face. He emphasizes the importance of being heard and validated, and centers his work on supporting people with severe mental illness as well as LGBT+ clients. Heft also highlights men's mental health as an underserved area and aims to create space for emotional expression that many men are discouraged from sharing.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgmental therapeutic presence that works to identify the sources of stress and supports lasting change. His method combines practical problem solving with empathic validation so each plan fits the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Paul Heft is credentialed as a LIMHP - Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - which reflects his training and state-level authorization to provide mental health services.

Seeking help is presented as a sign of strength, and Heft invites questions from those exploring therapy to determine whether his approach fits their needs.
