Heidi Nowicki

MS, PLPC

I find I am a great fit for teenagers, young adults, and parents.  As a former teacher for 16 years, a current school counselor, and a mother of two teens, I have the unique advantage of being able to understand many perspectives of today's teenagers and their supporters. I am tender to the sometimes difficult transitions that young adults must navigate, and I am enthusiastic about working with parents as they aim to understand and help their teens. 

I am creative and playful with a solution-focused and strengths-based approach. I frequently help with school struggles, depression, anxiety, grief, family struggles, trauma, regulation of emotions, parenting, life transition, peer struggles, self-esteem, and relationship struggles.. I often utilize aspects of play, including sand tray, games, and art.

I understand the courage that is often required to reach out for therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your child. I know that often people come to this point with a sense of vulnerability, fear, shame, or failure, but I believe the willingness to nurture the mental health of one’s self, relationship, or child is a choice that stems from love and hope.
