Chris Heise, LICSW

Chris Heise, LICSW

Psychotherapist/Clinical Supervisor

I feel that everyone has their own personal story and experience that have led them to seek support. It is my role as a therapist to meet clients where they are at emotionally, mentally and physically to help facilitate the journey of healing. A trusting relationship is fundamental to helping people make positive change in their lives. I believe that therapy is a partnership where health and wellness are the goal.
