Heather Bonds-Harmon, LICSW

Heather Bonds-Harmon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Providence, Rhode Island, specializing in trauma-informed care, grief and loss, and life transitions. Her clinical work focuses on helping individuals process and resolve trauma, strengthen self-awareness, and cultivate a greater sense of empowerment and internal stability.

Heather’s approach is integrative and grounded in both evidence-based and depth-oriented frameworks. Drawing from Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and contemporary trauma-informed treatment models, she supports clients in identifying unconscious patterns, reframing limiting beliefs, and developing effective coping strategies. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured, research-supported approach that helps reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and supports adaptive resolution.

Her work emphasizes the integration of insight and skill-building—helping clients understand the roots of their experiences while equipping them with practical tools to regulate emotions, improve communication, and navigate challenges with resilience. She takes a holistic view of mental health, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and meaning-making in the healing process.

Heather has experience working with diverse populations, including individuals exploring questions related to identity, gender, and sexuality, and strives to create an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment for all clients.

She is committed to fostering a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, recognizing the courage it takes to engage in the work of healing. Heather partners with clients to support meaningful change, integration, and the development of a more grounded and self-directed life.
