Hi! and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed therapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience. My work integrates evidence-based practices with a compassionate, client-centered approach. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, heal from trauma, and build stronger relationships—with others and with themselves. I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. At the core of my practice is the belief that lasting change comes from both insight and action.

First session

During our first session, I will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment. This assessment covers things like your current concerns, your mental health history, family background, relationships, stressors, and strengths. The goal is to get a full picture of who you are—not just the symptoms—so I can support you in the most helpful and personalized way.”

Strengths

As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a space where clients feel both safe and challenged. I combine warmth, empathy, and deep listening with clear, actionable support.

Ideal clients

My ideal clients are individuals who have a strong motivation in reaching their treatment goals and living out their lives with meaning and purpose

I have had a handful of sessions with Era Thompson-Heard so far. My experience with Era is that she is an attentive listener and empathetic speaker - very easy to talk to. She challenges my brain's worries and assumptions and encourages me to experiment and try things out to find solutions.

Era has really empowered me by being warm, authentic, & direct. When I first started therapy I wasn't sure where I wanted my journey to go but, Era was great at keeping an open mind to help challenge me & help me explore my best self. She is great!
