Heather Vikstedt
She/Her/Hers
My journey towards a career in counseling began as a group facilitator working with people in recovery from trauma, addiction, and co-dependency. Through this experience, I discovered a passion for walking alongside people as they heal from some of the most difficult experiences of their lives.
We all have unique life experiences that shape how we view ourselves, others, and the world around us. Your life experiences may have left you with a great deal of pain and distress, feeling stuck, lost, and confused, or like life is unmanageable. As a counselor, I strive to build relationships where my clients feel connected, acknowledged for who they are, and fully accepted in a safe and compassionate environment. In working alongside my clients, I utilize a number of interventions to facilitate my client’s discovery of their own strengths, resilience, and power as they heal. I have experience working with clients of all ages who are dealing with issues such as grief and loss, traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and family conflict.
