Hi — I’m Heather, a trauma therapist based in Alexandria, VA. I’m EMDR-certified and trained in Somatic Experiencing, and I work with adults across Virginia, Maryland, DC, and New Jersey who are ready to stop white-knuckling it and actually get to the root of what’s keeping them stuck. Therapy with me goes beyond talking about what happened. Using EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, we work with your nervous system — which is often where trauma, anxiety, and old patterns live — so you can process and move forward without reliving every painful detail. You’ve done enough of that already.
My style is warm, direct, and completely judgment-free. I’ll laugh with you, sit with you in the hard stuff, and be honest with you when you need it. I work best with adults who are tired of feeling stuck, ready to do the work, and okay with the occasional well-placed expletive.
If that sounds like you — reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation and I’m currently accepting new telehealth clients in VA, MD, DC, and NJ, with some in-person availability in Alexandria.
Call or Heather E Sullivan now for a free 15 minute consultation - (571) 322-8896

My work is body-based and evidence-backed. EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories, so they stop hijacking your present. SE works with the physical way trauma gets stored in your nervous system. Together, they make for a more complete and lasting kind of healing than talk therapy alone.
