Hi, I'm Heather.

Heather Feikema, LICSW

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life's most difficult challenges.

In our work together, expect me to be curious - and I'll ask you to be curious too. I'll listen without judgement, and gently challenge you to move and grow.

"Let's figure this out together."

My approach

20+ years of clinical experience, licensed in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, with specialized training in EMDR and TF-CBT.

Grounded, practical, and collaborative - with real training behind every session.

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to connect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with attachment-based and family systems approaches woven in where they fit.

I'm direct and curious in session. Most clients start to feel relief within the first few weeks.

What drew me to this work

Everyone deserves to feel truly heard. Over two decades, I've seen how much can shift when someone finally has a space that's just theirs - no judgement, no rushing, no pressure to have it all figured out.

That's what I try to offer every person who walks through my door, or logs onto our video call: a space to notice what's really going on, and the support to do something about it.

Being in the room together is always my first choice, but I've found telehealth just as supportive when that's what works best for your life.

Ask me a question

What working together looks like

A quick, honest picture of what to expect - and what you won't get - working together.

This isn't
Generic advice that ignores your actual life
Pressure to share before you're ready
A one-size-fits-all treatment plan
Judgement about where you're starting from
This is
Strategies shaped around your specific story
A pace that feels safe for you, every time
Care that adjusts as your needs change
A space to be exactly where you are, honestly
