Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must first build a strong rapport. I strive to make this happen and once that foundation is laid, I will use one of several therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue at hand. These modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. I am known for being friendly, a good listener, caring, sensitive, and energetic. Not only do I have the necessary credentials, experience, and hours to be licensed, but I also work full-time as a School Social Worker in an urban setting with middle school students and I am a mom to four children who range in age from 9 to 24 years old. I truly believe that prioritizing one's mental health is an investment in itself and it is an active step towards your healing journey.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Ranson. 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.
Heather is perceptive, intelligent, and empathetic! She makes you feel that you are heard, you are not alone, and you are valid. She is not afraid to challenge your perspective in order to help you grow. I have never encountered a therapist who cares so much!

I connected with Heather from the start. She is the type of person who would clear her schedule to talk if available. Thank you for everything!

I have had at this point a few sessions with Heather and I genuinely feel great speaking to her. I feel as though I am able to share anything and that I will be heard and supported. She is so kind and welcoming to speak to. I have tried many therapy and counselling services, but this is the first time I can safely say I feel a weight lifted off my chest after every session.
