Nate Hefner
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Hello, I have extensive training in trauma therapy ranging from EMDR, AEDP, Somatic focusing, etc. I also specialize in couple's work/ relational issues.
I focus on individual Trauma, Couples, and Family. With years of family and individual work I've developed a flexible ability to meet adult and teen needs from parenting, marital, to trauma and developmental transitions of life. My work is informed from an attachment approach where I seek to create safety with you to untie negative relational patterns and move into greater awareness and courage. I assist you in rediscovering your resiliency to pull you beyond the old patterns. To assist my clients when balance is upset by an underlying issue of trauma, my training in AEDP coupled with EMDR and somatic approaches is well suited. Working with the age span of families I've learned to assist the playful hearts of youth and the powerful commitments of adults. With college age clients, healing trauma, clarifying direction, purpose and the existential questions of who am I, where have I come from and where am I going is central to the healing journey.
