Heather Horvath

Heather Horvath believes in the healing potential of therapy and approaches each person’s life story as unique. She uses an eclectic, trauma-informed framework and draws on reality theory along with knowledge of behavior and neurocognitive development to guide care. Cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and other evidence-informed tools are applied as appropriate, with therapeutic goals and methods tailored to each client’s needs.

She is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan and has 3 years of experience providing therapy. Heather works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management concerns, depression, and challenges related to life transitions. She also supports clients with addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleeping and eating disorders, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family conflicts.

Heather has experience collaborating with community agencies, corrections, and families, and has worked with at-risk families involved in the child welfare system, people with severe emotional disturbances, and those engaged in inmate rehabilitation. Her background also includes supporting clients with traumatic brain injuries and their caregivers, and assisting people adjusting to significant changes in functional status due to illness, injury, or aging. She has provided geriatric mental health and childcare mental health consultation as part of that work.

Her training includes focused work in Solution Focused Therapy, trauma treatment, grief and loss therapy, traumatic brain injury care, health and rehabilitation approaches, inmate rehabilitation, geriatric mental health, substance abuse treatment, and anger management. Heather aims to create practical, compassionate treatment plans that fit each person’s situation and goals.
