Professional statement

Heather Waxman, LMFT, is a licensed therapist and certified somatic exercises instructor supports introspective, self-aware women who are ready for deeper work beyond traditional talk therapy — helping them heal chronic patterns at the root through an integrative approach that blends somatic therapy, depth & unconscious pattern healing, spirituality, and relational work.

With over 13 years of experience, she integrates clinical training in Marriage & Family Therapy with somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, relational healing, and earth-based spirituality. Her approach is grounded in the understanding that we are cyclical beings—shaped by rhythms of growth, rest, and renewal—and that symptoms carry wisdom, intelligence, and information that can help guide one’s healing process.

Therapy with Heather is integrative and holistic, meaning it supports your entire system—your soul, conscious and subconscious minds, nervous system, psyche, and relationships—so that real, lasting change can happen. Over time, clients develop a deeper sense of inner safety, self-trust, and embodied resilience.

Heather offers in-person sessions in Norwalk, Connecticut, and virtual therapy for clients located in Connecticut and New York.


Message to clients

You know that you need something more than talking and intellectually understanding your problems. Therapy with me contains the deeper shifts and beyond-insight format of therapy you're looking for. You already understand your patterns. You don't need more talking. You want to work with a therapist who can help you slow down, go deeper, and really heal at the root. This is the kind of therapy experience I provide. Most of my clients begin to experience noticeable shifts within three sessions and achieve their initial goals for therapy within 3 - 10 months of working together.
