LICSW, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! My name is Heather Tomich. Thank You so much for your interest in starting therapy. It takes courage to seek support and make your health and well being a priority. I would love to see if we'd be a good fit in helping you achieve your therapeutic goals. As a Clinical Social worker, I have over 30 years in the MH field. I am compassionate, results driven and dedicated to empowering the lives of others. I specialize in treating Anxiety and Mood Disorders, as well as, Trauma. I am skilled in Psycho dynamic, Solution focused, Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
In our first session together, my main goal is to create a safe, comfortable, judgment free space, where you can begin to share what brings you in therapy.
Client's often tell me that I'm a really good listener and that they appreciate my balance of empathy, practicality and collaboration. My clinical approach, combines evidenced based methods, such as; CBT, mindfulness and strength based therapy, as well as a relatable, human perspective. I help Client's to not only understand the Why's, behind their thoughts and feelings, but also develop tools to make the necessary changes in their lives.
I see my ideal Clients, as individuals who are ready for change. They are resilient, courageous, open to reflection and are all willing to do the work that leads to growth. I believe my Client's all share a desire to be heard. Let's be partners in that journey.
CBT is a structured, goal oriented approach, which I have successfully used to treat diagnoses such as; Anxiety, Depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. CBT focuses on identifying, challenging and changing negative, sometimes intrusive thinking, and behaviors and replacing with more positive and self empowering thoughts and behavior
I have successfully used DBT to teach Client's skills for managing intense emotions and improve, overall mood
