Heather Doran
I am Heather Doran, MEd, LPC, and I specialize in working with women through the emotional weight that comes with life transitions. Together we might work through anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, self-esteem, body image, family conflict and more. Whether you are a college student finding your path, a woman navigating the heartbreak and uncertainty of infertility, a new mom adjusting to a completely different life, or a parent facing the constant evolution that comes with raising children, you do not have to figure it out alone. I feel genuinely honored to spend my days with clients like you, and I would love the chance to share in your journey.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are my genuine compassion, warmth, and ability to connect with women during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel seen, heard, and understood as they navigate change and uncertainty. I am passionate about empowering women to better understand themselves, build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, and develop the tools they need to move forward. My experience and understanding of anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationships, and family dynamics allow me to meet each client where they are and tailor my approach to their unique needs. I bring empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for each woman’s individual journey, with the goal of helping her feel less alone, more empowered, and more confident in navigating life’s transitions.
Origin story
For over 10 years, I have had the privilege of serving as a school counselor, supporting students and their families through some of life’s most challenging moments. Throughout this experience, I have found a deep appreciation for the connections I have built with the adults in their lives and a desire to extend that support beyond the school setting. I believe there is something incredibly meaningful about being truly heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I value the opportunity to listen, hold space, and walk alongside my clients as they navigate their own experiences. Having personally experienced the impact of having safe, supportive people in my own life, I understand how meaningful it can be to have someone who offers compassion, encouragement, and a space where you can simply be yourself. It is an honor to offer that same sense of support and understanding to the women I work with.
