A little about me
Hello! I'm Heather Petersen, LGSW, MSW, an outpatient psychotherapist who provides therapy services and accepts referrals through Inspire Services LLC at its Montgomery and Chaska, Minnesota locations.
For approximately ten years, I've been part of the Inspire Services team as a Mental Health Practitioner in the Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) program. That experience strengthened my passion for helping people navigate life's challenges, recognize their strengths, and build meaningful lives.
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona, and a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Minnesota State University, Mankato.
Although my clinical role as a psychotherapist is newer, my years working in mental health have given me firsthand insight into the everyday challenges people face.
I believe therapy should meet people where they are. Offering care in familiar and flexible settings can help reduce barriers and create room for greater comfort, openness, and growth.
Outside of work, I enjoy gardening and landscaping, exploring history and travel destinations, reading historical nonfiction, and spending quality time with my family.
I look forward to deepening my connection with the communities I serve and helping make mental health care more accessible, welcoming, and empowering.
Flexible Care
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Therapy doesn't have to happen within four office walls. Heather offers options designed to make care more accessible and comfortable.
Telehealth
Connect remotely from a private, comfortable setting.
Community-Based Therapy
Therapy in appropriate community settings, helping meet clients where they are.
Assisted Living Visits
In-home sessions for clients living in assisted living communities.
Flexible settings can help reduce barriers related to transportation, mobility, stigma, and scheduling. Contact Heather to discuss options and availability.
Compassionate, Individualized Care
My Approach to Therapy
My therapeutic style is integrative and trauma-informed, combining evidence-based practices with humanistic and relational approaches.
Depending on each person's needs, I draw from:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Narrative Therapy
- Attachment-Based Therapy
I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore emotions, develop resilience, reconnect with their values, and experience meaningful growth—not simply symptom relief.
Whether supporting a student navigating school stress, a senior adjusting to life changes, or an adult managing anxiety or depression, my goal is personalized, respectful care that builds insight, confidence, and emotional strength.
Let's Connect
