Heather Belts

Heather Belts

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people who have experienced childhood adversity. Many of my clients have ADHD, autism, or high ACE (adverse childhood experiences) scores and understand their patterns intellectually, but need help creating change that feels safe and sustainable.

I work best with clients who are ready to take an honest look at how their past continues to shape their relationships, choices, and sense of self. Trauma work cannot be rushed, so I maintain a small caseload and move at a pace that gives each client’s nervous system time to adapt. I bring genuine compassion, curiosity, and humanity into the therapy room.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.

My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.
