Small Shifts - Real Change - Balance in Motion
Does your life seem out of balance?
Has a behavior pattern taken over your life?
I work with individuals experiencing an addiction or troublesome behavior to dial into the underlying thoughts and behaviors and make small changes to restore their own inner balance.
At Inner Axis, I am dedicated to supporting individuals through evidence based therapeutic interventions that foster sustainable change. I focus on helping clients achieve their personal inner balance by facilitating small, manageable, and meaningful shifts in thought and behavior. Through a collaborative and client-centered approach, I empower individuals to build resilience and adaptability in response to life’s ongoing challenges.
Inner Axis offers HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy in New York State.
About Heather Heeks, LCSW-R
I have over 15 years of experience in the field of social work, including working with youth, families, individuals with substance use disorders, and university students. I use a blend of complementary approaches that is unique to each person I work with that can help you identify changes that you can make to reach your goals, including psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy.
My approach to therapy is guided by the following principles:
Each person has innate value - You are not defined by your problems/struggles, how others perceive you, or your circumstances. You deserve the opportunity to be the best you that you can be.
Each person is unique - Since everyone has a unique blend of personality traits, strengths, interests, talents, and experiences, therefore my therapeutic approach is tailored to you as an individual.
Each person is an expert in themselves - I have you take an active role in your own therapy. You know yourself best: your strengths, your needs, and your experiences.
We all struggle at times because life can be messy. The good news is that you don't have to go through it alone and there is always hope and support. My goal in therapy is to partner with you to reach your goals.
