Heather Pantalone

About Me

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Life Coach, my background is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness, and emotional regulation. I have experience working with adolescents from ages 12 to 19, on family relationships, legal and substance use issues. My practice is built on positive psychology, attachment theory, and emotional intelligence. It is my pleasure to join with my clients for however brief or long our time together is. In therapy we work on identifying dysfunctional areas, often time rooted in personal perspectives, in life and relationships. Together we identify areas that need improvement, goals, and strategies for change. We work at the client's pace within our allowed time together. My aim is for teens and parents to feel safe to discuss personal challenges, with support in the problem solving process while preserving hope for positive change. Adolescents can be a challenging time for child and parent. Finding ways to share common ground, communicate effectively, and set positive boundaries will support increased harmony.
