-Michael
"Heidi has been my therapist for a few years now and I appreciate the amount of empathy, professionalism and guidance she has shown me throughout my journey in her sessions. She has challenged me to take steps in directions that help push me towards a better version of myself and I'm so thankful for that. I think anyone who has the opportunity to work with Heidi should take it while there are spots open! She's quite flexible and willing to accommodate in person as well as telehealth visits. I can't say enough good things about her!"
-Maureen
"Heidi has been instrumental in finding myself when I was lost. She has helped me and walked with me through hard times and hard decisions. She is very knowledgeable. She has pushed me to be better in a gentle way. I feel heard without judgment and understood when we have our sessions. Thank you for all you do."
-Lindsey
"Heidi has been my therapist for about 5 years now. She has, since the beginning, been an integral part of helping me get myself out of a long-term abusive relationship, increasing my self esteem and working through my chronic anxiety and depression. Even when I am having better weeks, she is there to listen with a non-judgmental ear and provides positive feedback. I have never had a better therapist!"
-Gosia
"It’s not always easy to find someone that you can connect with – but Heidi Gibbons has been a wonderful therapist. She is an excellent listener and easy to talk to. She has helped me talk through a lot of different challenges, anxiety, fear and relationships with kindness and compassion. She makes me feel very welcome and comfortable, always offering nonjudgmental advice. During our sessions, Heidi often pointed out things that have provided me with clarification of the situation. She is both compassionate & supportive. I’m truly grateful for finding Heidi and would highly recommend her as a therapist to everyone."
-Craig
"Going to counseling was not an easy decision, but Heidi made me very comfortable and allowed me to talk about everything and always made me feel listened to and has helped me work through the items that I am seeking counseling for. Feels good to have someone to work through my issue with!"
-Marina
"It is important to find a therapist that you connect with. Heidi is very knowledgeable and resourceful giving me suggestions and material for whatever my issue might be. I tell my family that everyone should have a therapist that they trust. I have given Heidi's information to many friends hoping that she can help them as she has helped me."
-Stacy
"I cannot say enough positive things about Heidi. I made the decision to get counseling for my daughter when she was 9 years old. She had been experiencing extreme anxiety related to school. Heidi did a fantastic job working with her to learn to manage the anxiety. My daughter is now 17 years old and still sees Heidi. Heidi has been great helping her navigate disordered eating, anxiety, depression, family problems, and so much more. Heidi is very professional but warm and caring."
-Melissa and Alex
"My wife and I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Heidi. From the very first session, she created a space that felt safe, supportive, and completely judgment-free. Her empathy, insight, and professionalism have been truly great during couples counseling for my wife and I. She has an incredible ability to listen and also guide you gently with insight from her experience and knowledge. We have felt seen, heard, and understood in ways that have helped us grow. She has a way of speaking that is therapeutic and is not afraid to challenge you and offer her clinical opinion on what the root of your struggles are. She does this in a gentle way and helps you feel motivated to change. We look forward to every session speaking with her. It leaves us feeling more empowered and more equipped to handle life’s challenges together. We are so grateful for her and the care she puts into every conversation. If you’re considering working with Heidi, we wholeheartedly recommend her!”
