When you make your first contact we will do our best to match you to the therapist who best fits your needs. Please understand that a brief biography on our web page cannot give a complete picture of all that is involved in selecting an appropriate clinician. The clinician you are drawn to may not be the best choice for you. They also may not be accepting new patients or may not be available when you are. When you first meet with any counselor you will both be assessing how well the two of you "fit" together. You certainly may request an interview with another counselor if you are not confident of that fit.

We are supported by an outstanding staff who are an integral part of our treatment team. We could not serve you as effectively as we do without their commitment to making your experience at Heartland as healing and comfortable as possible. We invite you to get to know them and trust that they are committed to caring for you in every way possible.
