Heather Wiest

Heather Wiest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona (AZ LCSW - LCSW-2833) with 17 years of professional therapy experience. She works with adults on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse recovery, and coping with life changes, offering a respectful and compassionate therapeutic presence.

Her practice follows a holistic body-mind-spirit orientation and sessions are tailored to each person’s specific needs. Heather integrates nervous system regulation, strengths-based therapy, somatic experiencing, breathwork, tapping, bilateral stimulation, mindfulness, yoga, life timeline review, trauma recovery techniques, measurement based care, and feedback informed therapy into individualized treatment plans.

Heather draws on her Christian faith and her own healing journey from childhood trauma to provide a welcoming space for processing difficult experiences. She believes in partnering with people through courageous first steps toward greater peace and wholeness, and affirms that no trigger or trauma is too large or too small to address in therapy.

Her academic training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology from Grand Canyon University in 1992 and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University in 1997. After two years of clinical supervision she became a Certified Independent Social Worker in 2000, a credential that converted to Licensed Clinical Social Worker status in 2004. Heather is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist-Individual (CCTSI) through the Trauma Institute International.

In addition to clinical work, Heather serves as a Christ-centered yoga teacher, retreat leader, Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master, and contributing author. She founded Love Serve Inspire LLC in 2018 to bring together her work as a clinician, yoga teacher, and Reiki practitioner. As a wife and mother, Heather values presence and connection and often finds renewal watching sunrises or sunsets in her Arizona backyard or while traveling the world.
