Heidi Latimer
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you having negative thoughts daily? Are you having trouble in school? What about in your relationships or friendships? Are you ready to regain control of your life?
I am here to help you figure out what you need to be the best version of yourself. Change can be very hard, but it can also be a rewarding experience I offer a “down-to-earth” clinical style that provides you with a safe space to explore yourself without the fear of judgement. I am not here to tell you how to run your life but will instead work with you to find the best path that fits you!
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of PA since 2006 and have been able to work with children and their families, teens and adults in a variety of settings. I have experience working with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, bullying in school as well as relationship issues. My primary goal is to teach you the tools and skills that you need to manage on your own. We will work together to identify negative thoughts patterns and triggers so that you can better understand yourself and your reactions to others.
I have personal experience in navigating an anxiety disorder and have faced the stress and difficulty in making a change. Trust me, change CAN happen with hard work. I will work as hard as you to help you make the changes you decide you need to make. I mainly use a Cognitive Behavior modality, but I also incorporate Dialectal Behavior Therapy techniques to better support the intense emotions felt in many interpersonal conflicts. Additions to treatment can include mindfulness, psychoeducation, identification of new coping strategies and conflict resolution skills will help you to explore the stress in your life and to effectively communicate your needs to others. We will explore and build on your strengths to increase your self-esteem and better regulate your emotions.
You need to feel comfortable with your therapist, and I will be here to listen, support, educate and help you find the best path for you. I am a good listener, empathic, energetic, and will meet you where you are.
Are you ready to take the next step? I am ready if you are!
