Heather L Stein, PsyD

Clinical Psychologist

“Integrating various methods of strengths-based psychotherapy and mind-body approaches in a compassionate, safe and respectful environment.”

About Us

I offer a compassionate, safe, and respectful space where we can explore your unique path forward. My approach integrates strengths-based psychotherapy and gentle mind-body techniques. We'll work together to build on your inherent strengths, fostering resilience and well-being. This can be ideal for clients seeking to understand themselves more deeply and find grounded ways forward.

Approach

We move at a steady, client-paced rhythm, pairing gentle attention to bodily experience with focused, strength-oriented inquiry so you can notice small shifts between sessions. In Portland and through secure online sessions in English, meetings blend brief experiential techniques, mindful practice, and collaborative reflection, with practical steps to try between appointments. This way of working often fits adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, transitions, anxiety, or relationship strain who want grounded, embodied change.
