Hello. I am Cathy Heaps. I have worked educating, training, counseling, and supporting people all my life. I graduated from Argosy University – Sarasota with a Master’s degree and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for ajmost 30 years. I have also been certified by Grief Recovery as a Grief Recovery Specialist. I have worked with a range of individuals, from people who are struggling with a terminal illness to people who have faced loss or many other barriers in their life. I believe most difficulties in life become apparent when there is a significant loss or major change in lifestyle. I am passionate about my profession! I employ a variety of approaches including Gestalt Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Relaxation. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we discover positive ways to reconstruct negative thoughts. I teach Mindfulness and Relaxation to help recognize behaviors that are initiated by thoughts or emotions. I assist in identifying and restructuring those barriers and cognitive errors that are preventing you from moving forward. I am a Rogerian Therapist, and it is my nature to be person-centered, empathic, non-directive, supportive, and compassionate. I have unconditional positive regard for my clients. I do not have the answers to your problems – YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS! I provide reflective listening and give you the freedom to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental arena. I ask questions, often difficult ones, and regardless of how difficult those questions and answers may be, I will be by your side. Throughout your journey with me I provide a safe, comfortable environment, allowing you to be become confident as you explore the barriers to happiness in your life. I will support you in making your decisions. In this journey, I am at your side every step of the way.

Do you often second-guess yourself? Do you have a hard time remembering some things? Do you often wonder why you do and say the things that you do and say? Do you feel anxious about… everything? Our lives are like puzzles. Some scenes and pictures are more complicated than others and require assistance being put together. The pieces often get mixed up, flipped over, and sometimes put in the wrong box. I'm here to help you flip those pieces over and arrange them in their appropriate spots to help you gain perspective, increase your self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in a safe, relaxing, validating, and judgment free environment. I empower individuals in overcoming anxiety, setting boundaries, and identifying and processing traumatic or life altering events that may have been overlooked. Together we take a holistic approach, addressing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self, as well as the different roles you play in your daily life. Therapy should not be a scary experience. Connecting with your therapist is an important part of the therapeutic process. My laid back and humorous approach offers a welcoming environment that helps put you at ease and open up. My own personal physical disability also offers assistance in connecting with and relating to individuals with physical struggles. I know it’s hard to believe, but one size does NOT fit all. Different injuries call for different treatments. You wouldn't slap a Band-Aid on a severed limb, just like you wouldn't get stitches for a paper cut. If left untreated and ignored, initial injuries have a way of creating more and bigger injuries. Getting to know you and listening to your story helps me guide you to the most appropriate treatments. Imagine a warm, calm, inviting environment with no judgments and open conversations. An environment where therapy is enjoyable. I value comfort and safety when establishing therapeutic relationships.

Healing and discovery starts from wherever you are! I believe that therapy is about the discovery of possibilities, of alternatives, about thinking better of one’s self! It may include revisiting the past, healing wounds, or finding strengths that you didn’t know you had! It may be about finding purpose, finding your way, making things better, discovering hope, or feeling heard! It can be about knowing that you have a place in this world, or discovering that you’re ‘good enough’—just as you are! I believe in Person-Centered Therapy; in other words—you are at the center of your world and therapy, (making things better), can start from wherever you are! I also believe that we are all products of both our inherited characteristics and our environments and that no one succeeds alone! We all need help from time to time! We need each other! For over 13 years, I have been listening and helping professionally. However, as a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, employee, friend, student, fellow traveler on this human journey, I have been listening and helping all of my life. Let me join You on your journey!
