Hi! I am a Dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC, FNP‐BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) dedicated to delivering integrated, evidence-based patient care. Experienced in psychiatry: evaluation and medication management, addiction medicine, and primary care management across inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth settings. Recognized for collaborative leadership, patient advocacy, and commitment to improving community mental health outcomes through compassionate, high-quality care.I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including ADHD, trauma, Schizophrenia, anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders and addiction. I am experienced in medication assisted treatment ( MAT).

Adulthood can be an exciting time of growth and independence, but it can also come with overwhelming pressure, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and uncertainty about the future. I work with teens and young adults who may be struggling to manage academic demands, navigate friendships and relationships, build confidence, or adjust to the many transitions that come with this stage of life. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life on your own terms.

My philosophy is to approach each person as an individual with his or her own ability/willingness/readiness to work through the issues at hand. I believe our thought process can be our own worst enemy at times and I work to assist the client to be more aware of the pitfalls of these negatively charged thoughts. I combine a range of therapeutic approaches based on your distinct needs of the client. I provide counseling services for those looking to reduce and manage anxiety and depression, develop affirmative overall functioning, and obtain assistance in confronting life trials.

I have worked with ages 5-99, in school settings, residential and out-patient settings as well as detention settings. As a School Counselor for the past 20 years, I have worked with students and parents to navigate through a myriad of familial, relational and school related issues.

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.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold an Associate License in Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy. My education and training have centered on a systems approach to relationships and family.

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.
