Heidi provides services like child, family, and couples counseling. Other treatment interventions provided for children include individual, play, and family therapy. Areas of focus with children include blended families, anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, and the grieving process involving the loss of a family member. She also provides psychoeducation to parents about childhood disorders and how to communicate with community programs available to families.

Heidi has also worked with individuals and groups utilizing her bilingual and bi-cultural background. To which she works with the client on exploring the current perspective of themselves and identify a process that will facilitate metamorphosis. Every individual is their own expert and knows what their lens of life is (personally, professionally, and spiritually). In turn, therapy is a collaboration between the clinician, client(s), and other community resources. The client becomes empowered by having obtained through the therapeutic process the necessary information, tools, and skills needed for their self-discovery.
