I make it a priority to not only use evidence-based techniques in my practice, but also to form trusting relationships with my clients. I primarily work with people ages 8 to 21 with a variety of issues including trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral or impulse control problems, psychosis, low self-esteem, and communication issues, among others. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, while also taking techniques from other therapy modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Hello and Welcome. Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Bill Hehner. I work with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss, oppositional-defiant youth and parenting. My approach is eclectic and I utilize a number of methods to help an individual achieve their counseling goals. I have a deep respect for all my clients and the therapeutic relationship.

Daily stressors of life can take a toll on anyone. No one is immune to stress and trauma which left untreated can lead to significant health related issues. Talking to a professional is not a sign of weakness. Things don't have to be wrong to seek extra help.

Are you feeling anxious, sad or resentful because life isn't going as planned? Are you trying to balance the demands of a career and family, feeling disconnected in your personal relationships, or riding the rollercoaster of infertility? Life can be overwhelming, especially when the unexpected happens. I work with women, couples and families with an emphasis on dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, infertility, grief, parenting, stress, trauma and relationship issues. I can help you reset and find your way again. I can help you feel stronger and confident to face the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Whether you realize it or not, just by being here and considering a therapist you have already begun a journey of change. Whether you have a specific life goal or hurdle you are working on or if you are struggling with things like depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, addiction, relationship issues, or career-related struggles, my first goal is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental place to be listened to and understood.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

My ideal client is open to the exploration of oneself through the ritual of self-reflective storytelling. I listen and help link childhood memories to insights through psychotherapeutic interpretation. My ability to draw from personal loss and experience helps me guide others through the sometimes painful exploration of the self. I work with individuals, often supplementing with group therapy, to help them recognize and understand the obstacles in their way.

I provide services to individuals with an open heart and open mind. I base our work on where you are mentally and emotionally. Together we examine past traumas and current stressors to begin to understand why sometimes we get to a place we never thought we would be. With an emphasis on positive psychology and learning to identify and grow strengths, we begin the healing process. Because an essential aspect of therapy is rapport with your therapist, I spend time growing trust a deeper understanding with each client. I will challenge you but also provide support, encouragement, and empathy when needed.

I work with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and trauma. I also see families dealing with Life Transitions including new medical diagnosis, the move of a parent to Long-term care, children leaving home. My clients include military families, as well as married, divorcing or struggling couples. Our work together often includes recognizing grief as a natural process of change and growth. I also provide clinical supervision and consultation services for mental health providers.

You have likely come to this site because you want to change how you are currently experiencing life. I believe that we all reach forks in the road and circumstances make it difficult to select the path that enriches our lives. My goal is to help clients put the past where it belongs, thrive in the present and look toward the future with greater satisfaction. I will meet you where you are in life and provide a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment that promotes growth and change and move at a pace that is comfortable for you.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. - Dr Wayne Dyer. Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. I believe therapy can be very helpful in defining the problem, exploring options, discovering patterns, finding strengths, developing solutions, and ultimately, creating change. I can offer assistance with your unique and personal journey. I have over 20 years of experience in working in mental health and with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

I have a unique style that blends multiple theories. I’m able to adapt to your needs and your style in a way that is most effective for your individuality. I am an honest, down-to-earth, funny, caring therapist. I keep it very real! I’ve been a mental health therapist for 12 years now and have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 25 years. Does that make me sound old? Or experienced :)

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships both at home and at work? Do you feel hopeless with a strong desire to move to the next chapter of your life, but unsure how? Struggling with alcohol, drugs or other addictions? Do you feel "Stuck?" Many individuals, couples and groups that come to see me are looking for specific tools to change feelings, interpersonal relationships, and actions (or inactions). There is hope, increased freedom and self-efficacy is possible.

My mission is to treat mental health diagnoses through personalized and compassionate counseling practices that promote growth, development and well-being to further enhance quality of life. I am qualified in assessments, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention skills for many mental health disorders including; anxiety, depression, codependency, anger management, trauma, and substance use. I incorporate several therapeutic techniques during session to provide clients with; healthy coping skills, increased positive cognitive patterns, and behavior modifications.

Dr. Harlow offers a genuine approach in a warm, supportive atmosphere to help clients gain insight, make lasting changes, and improve their quality of life. People often seek therapy when their life is out of balance, when they are hurting, or when old solutions no longer work. I consider it a great privilege to accompany clients in their personal journey as they navigate the process of change.

I enjoy helping clients with attachment issues, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. I also have experience working with clients struggling anxiety, depression, SPMI's and grief. I offer daytime, evening and weekend appointment times that can accommodate busy schedules. I strive to establish a therapeutic alliance with my clients based on emotional validation & trust. I hope to meet clients where they are by working with them collaboratively to identify the core issues underlying many daily problems. This collaborative work is critical to developing true clarity and is a first step towards healing.

I am flexible to accommodate most schedules. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy; at its core, therapy is about building a relationship in which we feel safe to embrace and become our authentic selves. I enjoy working with people to explore life experiences and identify past trauma that may be preventing them from living their best life. I am passionate about issues surrounding individual freedoms, specifically relating to gender/sexuality. As a queer professional, I enjoy working with clients who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or who practice nontraditional relationships, including polyamory and kink.

As your mental health therapist, I am deeply passionate about helping you achieve peace and success as you journey through life. First and foremost, I am devoted to providing the best possible mental health care to my clients. I have clinical experience working with teens and adults with mental health disorders, as well as substance use disorders. I use evidence-based techniques to guide my practice and to develop your individualized treatment plans. I also have experience working with individuals suffering from past trauma and am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, addiction and interpersonal relationship difficulties. I believe that therapy can bring conscious awareness to adaptive patterns and limiting beliefs that hold us back from living authentically. I use a casual, non-judgmental approach to sessions, drawing from several styles of therapy based on client need. I take a collaborative approach and view the therapeutic alliance as a significant contributor to change. I view “symptoms” or “problems” as meaningful forms of expression that invite us to heal our relationship to self.
