MEET Heather Chapman, Lpc, ncc, cpcs
You’re already more capable and more worthy than you realize.
Ready to connect with your true self and build confidence and self-compassion?
You’re in the right place.
You tell yourself that you should be stronger. That you should be able to handle everything life throws your way. When things aren’t perfect, the critical voice in your head gets louder, leading to procrastination, overthinking, shame, and feeling stuck. It can feel like your thoughts are in control, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t turn them off.
Low self-esteem can affect so many areas of your life. You struggle to speak up for yourself or ask for what you need. That inner critic tries to convince you that you’re not good enough. You might find yourself in unfulfilling or even emotionally harmful relationships. Your relationship with food and your body may feel strained. The anxiety and constant "shoulds” leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from the people who matter most. Sometimes if feels easier to cope by using avoidance, alcohol, or other unhealthy habits to get you through the day.
But life doesn’t have to be this way.
Beginning therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, feel more in control of your emotions, and relate to your thoughts with more compassion. Together, we’ll work on developing skills to manage your anxiety and obsessive thoughts while gently building a more understanding and accepting relationship with all parts of yourself - even your inner critic. You can feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, and begin creating the life that you want to live.
“There can be no growth without curiosity and no adaptability without being able to explore, through trial and error, who you are and what matters to you.”
- Bessel A. van der Kolk
Hi! I’m Heather. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I’m also a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor.
I fell in love with psychology after taking a General Psychology class during my freshman year of college. Two years later, I began working in the field and have since gained experience in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. I started my private practice in 2019 and now specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, life transitions, and women’s mental health.
Over the years I’ve worked with individuals experiencing substance use disorders, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and challenges related to attachment patterns and family of origin dynamics.
My approach to therapy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness techniques, and self-compassion practices. I’m also trained in hypno-counting for trauma and Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and anxiety.
In our work together, I’ll provide a supportive space where we can collaboratively explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I’ll encourage you to bring curiosity and compassion to all parts of yourself-especially the ones that are hardest to accept.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, photography, yoga, and spending time with friends, family, and my schnoodle Sophie.
