I am an individual counselor licensed in Illinois with over 8 years of experience. I have worked with clients with ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, mid-life changes, and career challenges. Whether you have been diagnosed in childhood or later in your adult years I have the training to help you navigate through ADHD.
My counseling style is compassionate and understanding. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I treat the client not the diagnosis. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and mindfulness counseling techniques. I will adapt your treatment plan to meet yours personal goals and needs.
Therapy is a journey that can bring you to a new awareness and fulfillment. I am ready to help you along the way.
I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Hales. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Heather has made me feel extremely validated and supported. There has never been judgement or negativity in our communications and she has done a great job holding a secure, comfortable, and confidential space for me. I have learned so much about myself through her guidance and couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.

Heather is one of the best therapists I've ever had - and that's saying something! She listens to understand, reminds me what is true vs. what I may be telling myself, and helps me to reframe and refocus my thoughts. She has made a huge difference for me and my overall life satisfaction. I'm definitely a happier, healthier, stronger person as a result of working with her. I highly recommend her.

Heather has been beyond amazing. I've only been talking with her for a few weeks, but she's helped me in so many ways. I love being able to text anytime, and she reaches out to me when she knows things are tough. I can't express how grateful I am to have her as my therapist.
