Hello there!

My name is Heather Hammond, LMHC.

Having a strong sense of empathy, alongside personal life experiences are what motivated me to become a therapist.

I have always placed deep value upon genuine human connection and communication. Together, we can tackle your largest obstacles and have you on the road to living your richest and most fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or wanting to enhance your own personal growth, I promise to provide my utmost attentive and knowledgeable support.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and find yourself having difficulty focusing on completing daily tasks? Are the people closest to you concerned about your ability to maintain and stay afloat? Have you found that once you finally get a chance to relax, you are left with exhaustion and racing thoughts with increased worry?

My experience includes working with clients struggling with issues surrounding identity development, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, grief and adjusting to life transitions. Central to my practice, is a strong focus on grounding and mindfulness. Additionally, I have achieved Level 1 and Level 2 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I am especially passionate about helping clients have more fulfilling and healthier relationships in their lives.

Hi, I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner affiliated with Luminous Psychiatric, a group of professionals dedicated to providing access to health and wellness solutions to those in need. Luminous Psychiatric offers online & in-person availability. Please go to our website (www.LuminousPyschiatric. com) and select Request Appointment. We believe that while telehealth is making access to healthcare readily available, we only accept patients that can safely be treated remotely. Suitable mental and behavioral conditions for tele-healthcare are depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and certain mood disorders.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who are balancing demanding responsibilities whether in caregiving roles, professional environments, or complex family systems and feel overwhelmed trying to manage everything on their own. I also work with professionals in healthcare, education, and other helping roles who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or role-related stress.

My clinical background includes leadership roles in hospital-based behavioral health programs, including intensive community treatment and outpatient mental health services. I bring that depth of experience into my private practice by offering structured, practical support that helps clients regain stability, clarity, and confidence during difficult periods.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist who values the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I respect your beliefs, identity, culture, and family background, and I welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into the process if it is important to you. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and a sense of safety, not through judgment. You should know that I walk alongside you with patience, kindness, and genuine care.
