Some of the concerns I help people deal with include depression, relationship issues,
women's issues
, sexuality, gender identity, loss/grief, negative feelings about oneself, life transitions, aging, and identity concerns (who am I; is this the life I really want to lead?).
I work with people who are struggling with a range of problems and wish to better understand their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I also work with people who are at a crossroads and want help thinking about the impact of a significant change on self and others. I am experienced working with people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well as LGBTQ individuals and couples. I'm compassionate and non judgmental and tailor my work to each patient's needs. I received my PhD from Yale University and have worked in community clinics, hospitals and extensively with UVA students and faculty.

I view the relationship between the client and therapist as the most important aspect of therapy. I value creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space in which clients feel comfortable being open about their experiences. I spend time getting to know my clients, listening to their needs, and meeting them where they are. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment, emphasizing emotion-focused and interpersonal process theories, along with evidence-based techniques.

You are really struggling with those places of deep woundedness within your soul and/or your relationship with your spouse/partner. Because of this, although you have immense value as a human being you may currently be in a place of doubting this to be true.

Whether our work takes place in my office or out in nature, I help my clients identify, cultivate and nourish their strengths and resources. Through our work my clients deepen their connection to themselves, others and the natural world.

heather-newcomb.clientsecure.me I am most easily accessible via email, and would recommend that you send an email to reach me. I have 10 years experience working with those struggling with addiction. This is almost always due to past trauma events that initially lead to substance use. Depression and anxiety are often co-occurring disorders that accompany substance use disorders and can lead to further life disruption. My clients want freedom from the mental heath and substance use disorders that are holding them back from their full potential and reaching their dreams.

My ideal client is someone who is wanting to take a deeper look at their own reflection. Have you ever seen a movie or television show with an insensitive therapist and thought: Is this what therapy is supposed to look like? I can tell you therapy with me will not look like the disinterested professional depicted on television. My therapy style is built on the keystone of rapport building. I value our time together and respect boundaries as we work collaboratively to navigate some of life’s hardships.

Feeling stuck and not knowing which way to turn? Feeling overwhelmed and not sure how to ask for help? Not sure what to try next? I have been there. Unsure, overwhelmed, and afraid of what I might discover if I looked inside. That is where I began my own journey back in 1987. That is how I know that there is hope. It is unfortunate, that we don’t get to pick our parents or early care givers. For many of us, the experiences from early childhood, shape who we are today and how we interact with the world around us. These experiences are powerful influences on how we cope with life stress and even the partners we chose in life.
