I am licensed in Wisconsin with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey!
Besides counseling, I also have a background in higher education. This makes me unique as a therapist as I like to use education in my approach when working with clients. I have worked with traditional college aged students professionally for the past 5.5 years. My areas of expertise are in the areas of life transitions, adjusting to change, and time-management.
Additional areas of focus: Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Communication problems, Control issues, Divorce and separation, Family problems, Self-love, Sexual assault and abuse, Young adult issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bernadette Heitschmidt. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Bernandette is very encouraging any easy to talk to. She acknowledges my positive qualities and concerns about myself even when I don't. She is going to help many people in her career...
