Heather Wilke, LPC, LCADC

I'm a licensed professional counselor in the state of NJ who specializes in helping adults manage anxiety, overthinking, life transitions, depression and trauma. I utilize an integrated approach to therapy to tailor interventions to each individual client; including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-informed therapy, including somatic approaches.

Good mental health is not about feeling good all the time. Instead, we need to learn how to manage the ups and downs and stress of life because, let’s face it, life is always full of transitions, which can cause anxiety, stress and overwhelm.

You might be in your 20s trying to figure out next stages in your career or your love life and you’re tired of dating apps or simply tired of your phone altogether. Or you're a new Mom struggling to manage new motherhood, while not losing parts of yourself. Or you’re in midlife trying to take care of your aging parents AND your emerging adult children. It really can feel like too much. We all need support!

Together, we’ll work to break your stressors down into manageable pieces so you can: walk away from therapy with tangible strategies to manage anxiety, overwhelm, overthinking or life transitions and help settle your nervous system. My goal is also for you to feel heard and seen as I aim to forge a good connection with you, and show up authentically, so you trust me and do the same.

In my cozy office you can show up as your real and vulnerable self, and not have to act like you have it all figured out. Nobody does! But it is possible to feel better. You don't have to continue to live with a rattled nervous system, constantly living in overthinking and overwhelm. And you don't have to do it alone. I can't wait to hear from you!
