Heili D. Lehr, MA, LPC, NCC
Like many of you, I have experienced times when navigating life’s losses and life transitions have necessitated a period of reflection, reevaluation, and reinvention. Changing careers, being diagnosed with cancer, going through divorce, caring for a loved one who is dying, as well as the many losses and changes associated with midlife and becoming an empty nester. Experiencing these things sparked a curiosity and desire to learn more about what people need in transitional times, and how best to support those needs.
My personal journey has been down a path of exploration in which I have done a deep dive into learning everything I could about loss, change, grief, resilience, and rediscovery. I began working with hospice patients and their families and was inspired to return to school and earn a bachelor’s degree in applied psychology and then a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling so that I could help others navigate all of life’s transitional times utilizing the benefit of what I have learned.
I individualize counselling based on your unique needs by pulling from a robust toolbox of effective evidence-based interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Choice Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Distress Tolerance and Resilience Training. It is your path to chart, I will be your experienced traveling companion, helping you navigate your way into discovering what comes next.
