Heather McGovern

Heather McGovern (pronouns she/they) is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, unheard, or constrained by social norms and unrealistic expectations. She focuses on guiding clients toward those practical “ah ha” moments that open pathways to progress and healing.

Heather employs a range of evidence-based approaches and customizes techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style is solution-focused, client-centered, and rooted in a strengths-based outlook.

Much of her clinical work involves supporting people who have experienced complex trauma. She prioritizes listening without judgment and creates a space where clients can explore difficult material at their own pace. Heather identifies as queer - non-binary, poly, and pan - and has worked with people at all stages of recognizing their queerness. She also has experience assisting individuals who have faced religious trauma, whether related to sexuality or other concerns.

Heather describes her approach as laid back and nerdy, using humor while also challenging clients to make the changes they want. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, a credential that authorizes her to provide clinical therapy (license SW19610).
