Heather Alesch

Clinical Director, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Heather Alesch | she / her / hers

Have you been feeling lost, alone, or overwhelmed? Do you feel angry for no reason or overcome by discomforting feelings you cannot explain? Perhaps you are in the midst of a crisis and questioning your purpose. I look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your journey and walking it together.

I use an integrative and systemic approach to therapy with an emphasis on building a strong relationship with my clients. Positivity, laughter, music, and creativity are essential elements of my practice. I affirm all gender expressions and experiences, sexual orientations, and consensual relationship styles.

I have over 20 years of experience serving children, adolescents, and adults in community based programs, group homes, alcohol and drug treatment, schools, hospital and detention/forensic settings.

I am particularly interested in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, facilitating trauma processes, and substance use recovery. I believe that healing happens when we feel safe enough to authentically connect to self and others.

In addition to helping people, I am passionate about parenting, writing, and social justice. I like giraffes, tea, and the beach.
