Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! I am so glad you are here seeking support for yourself or a loved one. I’m Heather Wiest, a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Arizona with 17 years of professional therapy experience. I specialize in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma recovery, and coping with life changes. I believe in providing a safe environment for healing and wholeness, treating everyone with respect and compassion. Our sessions and treatment plan are customized to meet your unique and specific needs. I embrace a holistic body-mind-spirit approach to therapy and utilize the following treatment modalities: Nervous System Regulation, Strengths-Based Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Breathwork, Tapping, Bilateral Stimulation, Mindfulness, Yoga, Life Timeline Review, Trauma Recovery, Measurement Based Care, and Feedback Informed Therapy.
Taking the first step to seeking a more peaceful and fulfilling life takes courage. I am here to effectively support you in that process. I believe we all are on a healing journey. There are times in our lives when we need some extra support and guidance for what is showing up. There is no trigger or trauma too big or small to safely process and bring into wholeness. The transforming power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my own life, combined with the experience I have gained through my healing journey from childhood trauma, encourages and empowers me to offer a safe space to facilitate healing and wellness for others.
I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Sociology from Grand Canyon University in 1992. While working full-time as a Social Worker, and completing two internships, I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Arizona State University in 1997. After two years of clinical supervision I became a Certified Independent Social Worker in 2000, which converted to Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2004. Furthermore, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist–Individual (CCTSI) through Trauma Institute International.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person counseling. It can be a practical option when those issues are the primary focus of care.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the communication method that fits their needs and comfort level, connecting by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care from different locations.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different clinical fit. For many individuals, that combination of proven effectiveness and practical accessibility makes online therapy a helpful path forward.
