Heather Jividen

Heather graduated with her Master’s degree from Simmons University. Before joining the Willow Center team, Heather worked with a wide variety of clients of all ages in crisis settings, school-based therapy, and groups. Due to Heather’s experience of working with a wide range of backgrounds and past experiences, her therapy techniques involve meeting each client where they are at individually with care and compassion.

Heather is incredibly comfortable working with clients who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, military and their families, as well as people who are struggling with grief and loss. She also specializes in helping clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and people on the autism spectrum. Heather believes that each person has an amazing story to tell and that each story should be heard. This is seen in her therapy style which is based on mindfulness techniques, grounding exercises, active listening, and cooperative goal-setting coupled with motivational encouragement where clients know they are not alone in this journey of healing and self empowerment.
