Heather Foster

Heather Foster is a psychotherapist and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), verbal psychotherapy, couples therapy, and creative arts therapies. She specializes in working with teens and adults who want to reduce their feelings related to anxiety, depression, and PTSD/C-PTSD; gain clarity regarding sexuality and gender identity; and understand themselves and their relationships more fully.

Heather’s approach is relational, person-centered, and LGBTIA+ affirming. She values collaborating with clients to build a trusting environment in the therapeutic alliance. Heather invites compassion and curiosity into sessions so that clients can gain insight into their patterns, make meaning of their experiences, and live more fully in the present.

Heather believes that co-creating positive resources can help clients be more available to notice their feelings, create healthy boundaries, identify needs and desires, and cultivate a greater capacity for self-awareness, joy, and hope. When working with teens and couples, Heather encourages families to use a lens of compassion so that they can modify patterns with one another and find repair.

Heather’s services support her clients through a combination of creative arts therapy techniques, EMDR, and verbal processing to expand beyond conventional talk therapy. This way of working leans into the brain and body's natural desire to move towards healing.

Heather’s sessions are held virtually via Zoom. She is available for a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss themes related to reasons for seeking therapy, as well as discussing details like scheduling and billing.
