Meet Heather Kiel! ❤️
Heather knew she wanted to be a therapist from a really young age because of her own lived experiences. She pursued the social work degree because it gave her a few years to decide exactly what she wanted to do with it in the clinical therapy realm. She loves helping people, but has learned that it's not just helping people, it's walking with them in their darkest times. To have someone to trust you in that space is nothing short of an honor.
Heather's favorite part of the work she does is the moment she sits with someone and can feel the healing shift in them; the "aha" moment. Or a moment where she is reflecting with someone about their time together and realize just how much they have gone through, how resilient they are. She loves when their posture straightens, their face gets brighter and you can see the change.
Outside of the office, Heather enjoys baking. Most recently, sourdough! She also enjoys gardening, reading and a good Netflix documentary. She and her husband have been together since 2006 and married since 2011. They have two boys who keep them very busy, and she is also a dog-mom to their family beagle, Rita (named after the character on Bluey). They love traveling together, camping, spending time balanced between being busy and lounging on the couch.
Heather is looking forward to being EMDR Certified any day now! She just recently traveled to Philadelphia to complete (for the 2nd time) Karen Kleiman's "Art of Holding" training. She notes that there may be more opportunities in this sphere, but all to be determined right now!
