Heather Gautreau

Ph.D., Registered Psychologist

Welcome! My name is Heather. I am a trauma-informed therapist who recognizes that our lived experiences impact how we do life and relate to others. Sometimes life is complicated or feels overwhelming, but I have seen how strength can emerge from struggle. I listen well as you share what’s on your mind and I help you sort out what matters to you.

I am a registered psychologist who specializes in therapy, psychological assessment, teaching, and workplace psychological health and safety. I walk alongside clients as they develop a stronger understanding of themselves and their professional and/or life experiences. It is a true privilege to hear clients describe how therapy or an assessment process has strengthened their feelings of being seen, heard, and understood. As clients start to understand themselves in a new light, they naturally begin deciding what they want the way forward to look like.

It takes courage to reach out, and I am honored that you are considering taking the next step with me. I enjoy getting to know my clients, and I am honored to offer you a welcoming space where you can share your story, recognize your strengths, engage in a process of healing and personal growth, and maybe laugh a little along the way. I provide services for individuals who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout or compassion fatigue, complex caregiving (neurodiversity, aging parents, adoption, etc.), FASD, grief, suicide loss, school or workplace difficulties, and other personal difficulties.

Welcome here! I look forward to meeting you.
