Professional statement
Heather Waxman, LMFT, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified somatic practitioner with over 13 years of experience supporting women in healing from chronic stress, trauma, and deeply ingrained patterns.
She specializes in working with self-aware, growth-oriented women who already understand their patterns intellectually—but feel stuck, tense, or disconnected in their bodies. Her approach is ideal for those who sense that insight alone isn’t enough and are seeking a deeper, more embodied path to healing.
Heather’s work integrates somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, relational healing, and earth-based spirituality. Rather than focusing solely on talking, she helps clients slow down, tune into their internal experience, and gently release stored stress and trauma held in the body.
Her therapy is holistic and integrative, supporting the whole person—mind, body, psyche, and relationships—so that change is not just understood, but fully lived and sustained.
Clients who work with Heather often develop a stronger sense of inner safety, self-trust, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of vitality and connection to life.
Heather offers in-person sessions in Westport, Connecticut, and virtual therapy for clients located in Connecticut and New York.

EnglishSpecialties
Anxiety - Persistent worry or anticipatory stress; feeling overwhelmed, tense, or on edge; difficulty settling the body or mind even when things are “fine”; anxiety rooted in over-responsibility, hyper-vigilance, or long-standing nervous system activation.
Chronic stress & burnout - Ongoing tension or exhaustion from prolonged responsibility or over-functioning; difficulty resting or slowing down; feeling braced, depleted, or stuck in survival mode despite outward competence.
Trauma - Lingering effects of relational, developmental, or chronic stress–based trauma; nervous system patterns shaped by early caregiving, attachment wounds, or prolonged stress; difficulty feeling safe, relaxed, or present even when current circumstances are stable.
Life transitions - Periods of identity change, grief, relationship shifts, career crossroads, or spiritual questioning; feeling disoriented, unsteady, or unsure how to move forward as old roles or ways of coping no longer fit.
Identity development - Questioning long-held beliefs about who you are or how you should live; outgrowing familiar roles or patterns; seeking a deeper, more embodied sense of self that aligns with your values and inner truth.
Relationship issues - Patterns of over-giving, people-pleasing, emotional self-containment, or difficulty trusting support; challenges with boundaries, closeness, or feeling safe and secure in relationships.
