Catherine Heil

Catherine Heil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Missouri who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating disorders, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

She brings 12 years of experience providing therapy services and has worked across a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, outpatient mental health care, and correctional institutions. Her background also includes long-standing work as a social worker within the mental health field.

Catherine earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from Southeast Missouri State University in 1997 and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Missouri, Columbia in 2009. She obtained her clinical social work license in 2011, qualifying her to provide clinical therapy in Missouri.

Her therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, goal-oriented and client-centered. She employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and motivational interviewing — practical, hands-on approaches that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping skills, and set achievable goals for change.

Reaching out for help can be hard, and Catherine acknowledges that first step. She is available to work collaboratively with individuals seeking to improve emotional well-being and navigate life’s challenges.
