Hello and Welcome!  

Being human is hard.  Perhaps aspects of your life are becoming unmanageable?  Are difficult emotions compelling you to seek relief?  To reach out for help is an act of COURAGE.  I invite you to explore this site to learn about my approach and areas of specialization, and to contact me for more information.  

Who I am and What I do:

I am a licensed psychologist committed to providing client-centered and evidence-based mental health services for adults.  As a scientist-practitioner, my methods are drawn from the science of what works and tailored for your unique personal values, goals, and strengths.  My approach to therapy is time-limited and highly collaborative.  The objective is to help you build a set of tools that give rise to enduring, positive life changes.   I specialize in providing consultation and treatment for individuals who want to address the following challenges:  
  • Surviving the entrepreneurial gauntlet (and even thriving)
  • Anxiety (panic, worry, dread)
  • Changing entrenched habits and patterns of behavior that are blocking you from living a fulfilled life:
    • Drinking, smoking, overeating to cope;
    • People pleasing; 
    • Pornography 
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Grief and loss
  • Depression (irritability, sadness, loss of interest)
  • Eco-anxiety (combatting apocalypse doom)
  • Helping you deal with a loved one who struggles with addiction or mental illness
  • Helping adjust to and lessen the confusion and fear associated with major life changes (parenting, break-ups and divorce, professional challenges)​
  • Feeling lost or directionless (clarifying values and goals, overcoming roadblocks, getting unstuck)

I also facilitate peer-support groups for founders.  Drop in on Wednesdays @ 12:05pm PST for some real and honest talk about riding the entrepreneurial rollercoaster!

***Please note, Dr. Heinz currently sees clients on Wednesdays and Thursdays during business hours.***  Dr. Heinz exclusively provides virtual therapy or will meet outside in nature.  In nature settings, Dr. Heinz integrates principles of ecopsychology to facilitate healing and connection and to help clients feel more resourced to face life challenges.
