Heather Meader, LICSW, LCSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington State (LW 60961647) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California (LCSW88501).
If you are getting through life, maybe even succeeding at many aspects of it but feeling like something is missing, I may be able to help. I enjoy supporting clients in finding new ways to increase their unique strengths and address challenges that hold them back from being present and engaged in creating a fulfilling life. My specialties include neurodivergence (ADHD, learning differences etc.), eco and social-political distress/anxiety or grief, those who work in the education field, stress, and those navigating new landscapes and transitions in life.
I am committed to a collaborative, genuine, and supportive relationship where we can address the issues that keep you stuck or repeat themselves in your life. I believe in the power of resilience and people's courage and tenacity during difficult times; and that our differences (including "mental illness") provide unique and valuable perspectives for the world but can also create intense internal or external challenges. I utilize a strength-based, person-centered approach and tailor my therapy to your unique needs. I work to help you maximize your strengths and address challenges by identifying skills and strategies to increase resilience and better attain your goals. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
