Heidi Herring, LCMHC, NCC, LCAS, CCS, SAP

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist who has been in practice for over fifteen years. I have experience as a special education teacher and public-school administrator. I have a wealth of experience providing progressive therapeutic strategies and interventions to change personal and/or family situations, solve problems, and/or simply bring a healthier balance to individuals’ lives. Being a single parent and working mom, I understand, firsthand, the joys and struggles of living in this society and parenting children today. I strive to accept everyone with a non-judgmental, client-centered attitude. I am skilled in working with adolescents ages 13 – 17, adults, couples, and families from all cultural backgrounds. My approach to counseling is based on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, strength-based therapy techniques, solution focused therapy techniques, reality-based therapy techniques, and motivational interviewing. Some of the areas I commonly focus on in treatment include anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, trauma, sexual abuse, childhood abuse/neglect issues, relationship dysfunction, ADHD, childhood and adolescent behavior issues, substance abuse (alcohol and drugs), and various issues with people with disabilities. I am happy when I see my clients thrive and develop healthy attitudes about life.
