Meet Heather Stevens! ☀️

Heather is passionate about creating a warm, accepting space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to navigate life's challenges. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, helping clients build resilience through life's transitions while fostering meaningful growth and self-understanding.

Her counseling approach is rooted in person-centered care and integrates evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and existential approaches. When working with children, Heather also incorporates art and play to help young clients express emotions, develop coping skills, and navigate challenges in a way that feels natural and engaging.

Outside of the counseling office, Heather is an avid runner who has completed 21 marathons, enjoys photography and travel, and loves giving back to her community through coaching, volunteering, and serving as a Girl Scout leader.

I love the vibe of our Falls Church office. We’ve been in that space for at least 20 years. It’s welcoming and cozy but what really brings the warmth is the therapists that work there.
