Description (2950 characters max)
My name is Heidi Dryer and I obtained my license as a Marriage and Family Therapist in 2015. I have extensive experience working with individuals from all walks of life suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, women suffering with chronic pain and/or autoimmune diseases, life transitions, parenting, first generation Americans struggling with identity and cultural issues. I also have experience working with the LGBTQ community.
I believe in providing treatment in a holistic way so I work under the premise that all individuals have the innate ability to solve their own problems although sometimes a guiding hand is necessary to lead one in the right path in order to have a healthy and happy life. At some point in my life I worked as Flight Attendant so I often use the metaphor to describe my own personal philosophy that all human beings are travelers in this journey called life. I believe that sometimes, as travelers, we often either don’t pack enough or carry too much luggage. In the latter case, this luggage has been accumulating from all life’s experiences we’ve had since we were born. Sometimes we carry good things in our luggage. Sometimes there are too many unnecessary things that are just weighing us down. If we don’t make an effort to make a thorough inventory of all those items, our journey will be unpleasant. We know this is happening because this is when we feel stuck in life. We feel unhappy, anxious and depressed, hopeless and helpless.
Whether you are looking for help to improve your relationship with your significant other or your relationship with yourself, you will find my approach to be highly cooperative and dynamic. I believe in providing individualized solutions and treatment based on your individual strengths and potential for growth. Together, we will explore each part of you (body, mind and soul). I will give you ideas on how you how to integrate and balance each of them on a consistent basis. Please feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute consult.
