Claudia Heckathorn, LCSW

As an LCSW, my practice is built on a foundation of frontline clinical experience over the span of 10+ years. I have guided individuals through their most vulnerable moments while working in a hospital Emergency Department Care Management Team and Crisis Behavioral Team, as a therapist in a Community Mental Health Agency, and in family advocacy alongside DHS. Having navigated acute crises and complex systemic bureaucracies, I bring a uniquely steady, calm, trauma-informed, and deeply resourceful presence to virtual therapy. I specialize in supporting clients through major life transitions and the mix of emotions that can arise—from perinatal care to advanced care planning.

Healing is a non-linear journey, and navigating major life transitions requires a dynamic team approach. SanaSana Mental Health, LLC offers online individual and couples therapy for adults (18+) throughout Oregon. Founded by an LCSW, our services are flexibly offered in English and/or Spanish to meet your unique cultural and linguistic needs. We support clients across the lifespan, specializing in everything from perinatal care to advanced care planning and practical case management. By combining tools like CBT and Motivational Interviewing, we empower you to modify unhelpful patterns and embrace change. Reach out today to schedule your first session.
