Heidi Earhart

Heidi Earhart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Heidi loves to learn and is Board Certified as a National Certified Counselor, which requires ongoing rigorous education in counselor treatment specialties. Heidi earned her master’s degree at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She interned with us and we recruited her for the C-NTA team!

Heidi believes in each person’s inborn potential for growth and for creating a fulfilling life, despite difficult circumstances and unmet expectations. Heidi has experience with LGBTQ+ issues and advocacy, and she counsels all adults aged 18 to 118. She focuses on helping clients to discover and expand their natural strengths so they can better manage their struggles. Becoming more resilient helps one get through challenging circumstances, empowering them to grow and even improve their lives along the way.

Her approach is integrated and holistic. She uses evidence-based Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and existential approaches to fit her clients’ goals for counseling.

Her approach is integrated, holistic, and incorporates a neurobiological approach so that clients can develop skills intended to help them to regulate their nervous system. Heidi enjoys helping her clients uncover available choices based on new insights and perspectives. Heidi strives to provide a counseling environment free of judgement to support reaching peace with oneself. She values authenticity, integrity, and mindful decision making – in herself and others. Heidi recognizes that trauma of any source can overshadow one’s ability to move forward. She greatly respects those willing to work toward healing. The reason Heidi entered the counseling profession was a desire to help others establish healthier relationships with both themselves and other people.

Away from the office, Heidi especially loves color and texture in art and nature, learning more about everything (but cooking!), and personal growth. She describes herself as a retired registered nurse, client advocate, lifelong learner, partner, and mom to an adult son.
