Heidi Eislyn, LICSW

About Heidi

Heidi has over 21 years of experience working in the nonprofit sector and earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota Duluth. Heidi is passionate about helping everyone she sees grow into the highest, healthiest, best possible version of themselves by fostering practices of Self-Compassion, Mindfulness, and Self-Acceptance.

Heidi believes that, most often, a client’s presenting problem was once a solution, a survival skill, that is now causing distress, and that each client has what they need within themselves to heal. Recognizing that it’s not always clear how to access and heal these wounds on our own; Heidi works with clients to honor what has kept each individual protected through the years and provides guidance on how to offer love, support and healing to the parts holding onto wounds and pain, in order to embrace a more positive, compassionate sense of themselves and the world.

Heidi incorporates a holistic, relationship-centered, shame/judgment-free approach to connect adolescents and adults with their unique healing journey. She is certified at the Master level in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), is a Circle of Security parent educator, and a Reiki Master. Heidi works from a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective with aspects of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Heidi has experience working with individuals who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, co-dependent relationships, spiritual concerns, and those experiencing life changes and adjustments. Heidi enjoys hiking, reading, and spending time with her children, friends, and dogs. Her self-compassion practices include connecting with nature, energy work, spirituality, meditation, and yoga.

“The feeling of being seen and accepted is healing.” – Seth Kopald, PhD., from the book Self Led
