Life can be joyful and fulfilling, but it can also sometimes involve difficult transitions and painful experiences. My passion is to assist clients in coping with challenging situations and to provide guidance in living life with your most cherished values in mind. Over the years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families that have been faced with a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, cognitive or behavioral conditions, family dynamic challenges, trauma, anger management, and couples/marital concerns as well as other matters. My goal is to tailor your treatment using research based practices that will best fit your unique situation.

I believe resilience is a natural response to adversity. The relationship (therapeutic alliance) is one of the biggest predictors of change and improved outcomes in therapy. Seeking therapy is a sign of strength and the desire to change. I am honored to have the opportunity to help individuals, families, and children gain resilience through changes they are facing.

I have worked as a therapist for 25 years and I have trained in numerous evidence based practices which allows me to offer my clients the treatment they need to get better. I am passionate about helping clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, health conditions, life transitions, and stress move towards creating and maintaining emotional wellness. I believe change is possible and through therapy people can and do get better.

I have an integrative approach to therapy and keep an open mind when working with my clients to choose the best treatment plan for the individual.

I also encourage creative forms of therapy and nature exposure.

We are passionate about helping people on their journey towards growth, healing, and wholeness.

It is a privilege for me to participate in my clients' efforts to grow, change unproductive patterns, and build healthier, more satisfying lives. Whether a person suffers from anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, the pain of divorce, or simply needs help navigating life's transitions, the relationship built in therapy allows understanding, exploration and transformation to take place. I help individuals, couples, and families in crisis as well as working with those who seek enduring change and significant self-awareness.

I work with adults and adolescents who have found themselves overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, and/or the complex stress of surviving trauma and loss. I find that when individuals are given the space to be open and honest about their experience with no judgement, they are better able to draw on their own strengths and skills to begin healing. I also offer psychoeducation and cognitive skills to empower clients with a better understanding of how to influence their mental/emotional health to achieve increased functioning and well-being.

Being accepted for who we are is one of our most basic needs as humans. With many pieces adding up to create a whole being, it is hard to find someone who can understand without having to explain every time we see them. Repeated explaining and misunderstanding can lead to a feeling of shame and uncertainty that can damage the therapeutic relationship before it starts. I work from a baseline of understanding to help create a safe space for my clients to learn and grow. Therapy should be a laboratory where you can experiment with how you interact with others and present yourself. You are the expert on you. I'm just here to guide.

My name is Taylor and I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, relationship struggles, self esteem, suicidal ideation, and life changes. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults. I have experience working with adolescents experiencing truancy and school avoidance and working with them to develop skills to not only get back into the classroom but also to succeed when they get there. I am currently leading an IOP group with Renew counseling center to work with young people experiencing severe levels of anxiety and depression.

My approach to mental health counseling and high performance psychology does not focus simply on symptom reduction (i.e., removing difficulty), but rather aspires to honor what is good and right about you, and what makes each day worth living according to your beliefs, identities, values, and enriching relationships. My aim is to provide a space that invites exploration of challenging yet vital places of growth in the service of what is most important to you in your life and performance space. In particular, I have passions supporting people's resilience to shame, self-criticism, perfectionism, and anxiety.

Life’s challenges often feel overwhelming and prevent us from focusing on the areas of life that we value most. Feelings of worry, fatigue, and emotional disconnection can take the place of joy and meaning. In therapy you can expect to better understand the emotional challenges that keep you stuck, and collaborate on a personalized plan for addressing these challenges. We will carefully consider the strengths and abilities that have allowed you to persevere through difficult times in the past, and work to optimize how these strengths can help you move forward.

Hello! I am Heather Eichman, LSCSW, LCAC, CCTP, CDBT. As a currently active mental health therapist for many years, I have added integrated coaching as an available service. While therapy focuses on treating mental health issues, coaching is an integrated, proactive approach that improves well-being, performance in life roles, and growth. This includes creating an action plan together to ensure long-lasting behavior changes. We also may focus on problem solving to assist you in navigating various life stressors through discovery of creative, healthy pathways to achieve your optimal wellness.

I have space for daytime (11am-3pm) clients beginning December 2023. Life is complicated, and it is easy for us to feel "stuck" or "lost" in decision-making, relationships, and creating a life we genuinely enjoy. My job is to empower clients to find their voice and strength, & take tangible steps toward feeling better. You’re capable of positive change, self-acceptance, and self-compassion, and counseling can offer tools to help guide you toward "mental wellness."
