Heather Durham

My goal is to create a safe space within the context of a counseling relationship to help individuals come to a greater understanding of self, as well as to navigate difficulties of relationships, traumatic life events, and current sources of stress or difficulty. I take a holistic approach to help clients reach a greater place of healing, wholeness, and competency to face challenges in the present and future. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I have a particular interest in helping adolescents and young adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, career exploration, and life transition. My theoretical approach integrates elements from Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The focus of my work with couples is on building and restoring healthy communication and connection. My approach draws from the Gottman Method. I am also a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator. I have a particular interest in working with clients facing vocational or job-related issues such as stress in the workplace, job dissatisfaction, or interpersonal conflict. I enjoy helping individuals deepen their awareness of strengths or untapped interest areas with the ultimate goal of enhancing enjoyment and productivity within the vocational space.
