As humans we are all susceptible to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and degraded self care. We can all fall victims to relationship problems, grief and confusion navigating through life with its ever changing twists and turns. I have a desire to give clients a nonjudgmental, safe and welcoming environment in order to work on overcoming these life obstacles when they interfere with ones happiness and clarity.
Looking for help when you feel you are at the end of your rope takes courage but displays a sign of resiliency within yourself. If you feel that you can no longer handle your circumstances alone, I encourage you to contact me. I can be there to work through your circumstances with you and work on improving your quality of life together.
I have a passion for helping people overcome difficult times in their life. My focus in practice is to ignite hope and collaborate with my clients by utilizing an integrative and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. I work with individuals of all ages and look forward to witnessing the growth and continued resiliency within you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Simmerson. 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 both professional and personal depending on what the situation calls for. She responds quickly and concisely addresses my concerns with me. She has always given me the impression of availability and patience even though I can be both hectic and scatterbrained in comparison. I would certainly recommend Heather to a friend in need.

From the beginning, I told Heather that more than anything else, I wanted to be heard in counseling — and since that moment, she’s never made me feel anything less than exactly that. I’ve had several negative counseling experiences, but being able to find and connect with Heather has put my faith back into counseling for myself once again. I’m so grateful for her and everything she’s done for me, and I can’t wait to see where I go from here.
