Experience You Can Trust
I’m Heather McDermond, LPC. Since I began my practice in 2014, I have helped adults in Chester County manage their anxiety and depressive symptoms so you don’t constantly feel burdened with your unmanageable anxieties. With 20 years of experience, I work collaboratively with you to identify your specific triggers that are causing stress and discomfort in your life and provide you with practical tools to manage your anxieties. I understand for most of my clients, the goals are not just to feel “less stress”, but to have a sense of peace while navigating a demanding world.
In our lives, we all struggle at times where you may experience an increase in anxiety, depression, or everyday pressures. If you are feeling in distress from life's uncertainties, counseling may be beneficial to you, and you are already taking the right steps.
