Heather Lail

Heather Lail is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings broad behavioral health experience to her work with adults seeking support for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Her background includes work across multiple levels of care, including inpatient psychiatric services and outpatient counseling, giving her a well-rounded perspective on how symptoms and circumstances can shift over time and across settings.

Her counseling style is eclectic and draws from multiple evidence-informed theories and techniques, including psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, the Transtheoretical Model, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This flexible approach allows her to tailor sessions to the client’s goals, readiness for change, and day-to-day realities, whether the focus is coping skills, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, or building more sustainable routines.

In addition to her behavioral health training, Heather holds National Academy of Sports Medicine certifications as a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and Certified Group Fitness Instructor. Her work in personal training and nutrition coaching emphasizes behavior change and corrective exercise, and she applies the NASM Optimum Performance Training Model. She also incorporates current nutrition science and coaching strategies, considering factors such as age, culture, and socioeconomic context. Her overarching aim is to integrate behavioral health with physical health and nutrition in order to support meaningful progress toward life goals.
