I’m Heather Lokteff, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15+ years experience helping people navigate anxiety, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and personal growth. I'm available in person at my office or for online therapy.
What I help with
Anxiety + Stress
Therapy can help when worry, stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, or a major life change leave you feeling stuck, burnt out or overwhelmed. I work with adults experiencing high-functioning anxiety, work stress, and people-pleasing tendencies.
Life Transitions
I support individuals navigating career changes, identity shifts, divorce, aging parents, and empty nest transitions.
Relationships + Couples Work
I help individuals and couples understand relationship patterns, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and build more fulfilling connections. I help individuals work through relationship anxiety, recurring conflict, and challenges with emotional connection.
Personal Growth + Well-being
I help clients identify personal values, focus on self-care, and build the lives they want.
Grief + Loss
I support individuals facing the death of a loved one, the loss of relationships, or a major life disappointment.
You don’t have to figure it out alone
Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or caught in patterns you can’t seem to change. Maybe something happened in your past that continues to affect how you feel, think, or relate to others.
Are you hoping to become more engaged and present in your life? To change your relationship with anxiety and stress? To live more fully in alignment with yourself and what you value?
Are you navigating work stress, family responsibilities, changing relationships, or a season of life that feels different than you expected?
Are you wanting to pursue personal growth, self-care, and develop a stronger sense of self-worth?
Therapy can give you the space to slow down, identify personal values, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop new ways of responding.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I want you to feel understood while also helping you make meaningful changes. My hope is that therapy provides a safe, encouraging space where you have a knowledgeable sounding board and support as you navigate whatever brings you in. Learn More About Me

What to Expect
You're welcome to have a free 15-minute phone consultation first to share what's bringing you in, hear about my approach, and ask any questions you may have to see if we're a good fit.
In your first session for an intake appointment, we'll go over your history, current symptoms, and what you'd like to get out of therapy.
From there, we will decide together on the approach that fits you best and how often to meet. Most people start weekly or every other week, depending on what you're going through. We'll adjust as things change.
Wondering if we’re a good fit?
Choosing a therapist is personal. There’s an art and science to finding the right fit.
Feel free to reach out for a 15-minute consultation to briefly talk about what you’re looking for and whether my approach and availability are a good fit.
I look forward to connecting with you!
