Approach
Dr. Heather believes that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially for performing artists. We engage through creativity, movement, acting approaches, character analysis, and performance skills in our work together. We explore parallels between skills in performing arts and those in mental health. Our approach is to provide a safe and supportive space for artists to explore their psychological wellbeing and develop the skills and tools to manage any challenges that may arise. We believe in a collaborative approach, working together with artists to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals.
