Heather Dunning, MSW, LCSW
Welcome!
Are you looking for a fresh perspective or new tools to help yourself or your children deal with life's difficulties?
I have the privilege to work beside children, adolescents, and adults in difficult and often confusing times in their lives. I collaborate with clients to find solutions, uncover capabilities, and strengthen relationships and connections. My goal is to leave clients with strategies, communication skills, and ways of thinking that can be transferred from the therapy room to everyday life - to parenting, friendships, family dynamics, workplace, and those moments at 2 a.m. when it is difficult to fall back asleep.
For adults and adolescents, my approach to therapy is relational, creative and collaborative and I believe very strongly in forming a trusting relationship with my clients. For children, I use a variety of creative and play-based techniques to help them feel safe, comfortable, and able to express themselves. Please visit the "What Is Play Therapy?" tab above to learn more about the play-based techniques I commonly use.
My whole life, I have known that I wanted to be a therapist. Every day I marvel at how lucky I am to spend my days working with clients, helping them discover within themselves what they already possess. I guarantee that you will not find a more passionate and enthusiastic therapist for yourself and/or child!
