Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives. I blend therapy with real-world strategies so clients can create meaningful, lasting change.
Please note: My practice is currently focused on individual therapy, and I am not accepting new couples at this time.
Hey! I am the owner of Iris Counseling, LLC and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience in the field. More specifically in individual, family and group counseling, crisis intervention and suicide prevention, as well as in addiction counseling. While working in this field, I've developed a deep understanding of the complexity of us humans and the vulnerability it takes to ask for help. It's an honor to be in this profession and to be trusted by you as you're in this vulnerable space of personal growth and healing.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.
Where an atmosphere of non-judgement exists, lies comfort for one to explore themselves. Mindfulness-based, CBT best describes my style. I value open-mindedness and also feel it is important to address how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Training and education in Community Mental Health from Wilmington University launched a two decade long mission for me to explore the field of psychology and help others to optimize the quality of their life.
I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.
I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
I am excited to help guide you along your journey. I enjoy observing the transformation that occurs in my clients lives over time. Perhaps your seeking a deeper understanding of your emotions or simply a feeling of peace and contentment. Changes can occur through therapy. Lets collaborate and discuss your goals that support the life your are seeking to change or improve.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based, and stigma-free care to support healing and lasting growth. With a background in emergency and trauma care, I take a collaborative, holistic approach that considers the connection between mind and body. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and mood disorders through a personalized combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle support. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported every step of the way, at a pace that feels right for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Newark
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Newark starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. A therapist may support concerns related to sexuality, gender identity, family dynamics, relationship stress, anxiety, or depression. As you compare options, look for someone who lists experience with affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse clients, or LGBTQIA+ populations in their bio. Finding a therapist who understands your identity and goals can matter beyond credentials alone.
In a smaller city like Newark, the number of local therapists specializing in gender identity, sexuality, or counseling for LGBTQIA+ concerns may be more limited than in a large metro area. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in Delaware. Before booking, compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand how they describe their experience, communication style, and work with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and show estimated session costs before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
