You show up for everyone — the late nights, the hard calls, the students who need you, the clients who depend on you. But when was the last time someone showed up for you? Whether you're a nurse, teacher, first responder, or someone who's spent years carrying more than their share — you don't have to keep running on empty. I help helpers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and teens navigate trauma, burnout, anxiety, and addiction. Not with scripts or empty validation. With honest, practical support that meets you exactly where you are.
I'm Heather, a Massachusetts LMHC and founder of Stillwater Therapy. I use CBT and Solution-Focused strategies to build real, usable skills — not just self-awareness. My style is direct, warm, and grounded. I especially love working with people who've been told they're too much — or not enough.
I offer flexible telehealth sessions across Massachusetts and accept Aetna, Cigna, BCBS MA, Carelon, and Point32. Ready to feel as supported as you are for everyone else? Click 'My Website' to schedule your free consultation — the first step is usually the hardest, and you've already started.
