Heidi F Yoder, MFT

Heidi’s engaging, supportive and collaborative style make her a talented therapist that is able to really meet her clients where they are at with empathy and understanding. I’ve regularly referred clients to Heidi over the years, including individuals looking for new life skills to support the stress and changes happening in their lives and couples who need a safe place and a trusted 3^rd party to really engage and help them navigate challenges in their relationship.

I came to Heidi a few years ago for specific help with certain issues that were causing me some profound problems. I’ve been to a few therapists before, but Heidi was the only one that I feel like I made real and lasting progress with. I ended up with tools, skills, and the strength to deal with the original issue, but also gained a much stronger sense of self and a healthier way to view and interact with life.
Heidi has a high degree of perception and insight… when I thought that I had exhausted, within myself, all options to deal with certain feelings, she was always able to come up with fresh ideas and a new perspective.
She is gentle yet direct… she was often able to kindly direct me away from obfuscated and false self-​reasoning.
Her abilities are entwined with wit and humor, which was highly appreciated, as I tended to sometimes lose sight of the silliness and joy of life.
A lot of heavy events happened over the years I was working with her… the death of a parent and grandparent, relationship and family trauma… during these times she was able to work with me to navigate and process feelings, both those overt and those hidden away. But she also got to be there during some amazingly positive events like my marriage (which requires a different kind of processing).
She also understands addiction/​compulsion issues, and her support is a great complement to a 12 step framework, if that happens to be your thing.
Most important of all, she helped me to understand and value the idea of loving and accepting myself, completely and entirely, mind and body.
Everyone’s experience will be different of course, but I would recommend Heidi to anyone seeking to make a serious difference within their own life. I carry her wisdom and positive voice with me always.

Heidi is very empathetic, smart and sensitive. Her gentle but firm guidance helped me in many ways. She has many talents and when she combines her knowledge of the mind and body, she can help facilitate powerful change.
