Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hi! My name is Heather Dest. I have been fully licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina since 2011. I have worked with a wide range of clients in an array of settings from Private Practice, Hospitals, Public Schools, College, Prison and Community Agencies. In these settings, I worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, guilt, fear, regret, relationship issues, identity development, neurodivergence, parenting problems, career challenges, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, decision paralysis and more. I believe the success of therapy is primarily based on rapport with the therapist and the experience, education and knowledge coming in secondary. This may sound surprising but if you have ever been matched with someone you didn't vibe with you know this is true. The skills, exercises and modalities of therapy mean nothing if you don't trust the person teaching them.

Making a decision to begin therapy means you are ready for change but it also means you will have to be vulnerable. It means you are looking to allow someone else access to your strengths and your challenges in order to grow stronger and wiser. It is an important decision. I would love to work with you if you feel like my experience and approach may be a good fit for you.

Taking the first step into therapy can bring uncertainty, hesitation, and sometimes even shame about sharing the full extent of what you're experiencing. Opening up isn't always easy, but therapy can create an opportunity to receive compassionate support, develop practical coping skills and begin making meaningful change. Healing is possible. You don't have to navigate it alone.
