Heidi Hardman, LICSW

Heidi Hardman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate long-standing stress, difficult emotions, and challenging life experiences. With 20 years of clinical experience, she focuses on supporting individuals, children, and families as they examine entrenched beliefs and behavioral patterns that may no longer serve them. Heidi emphasizes helping clients develop greater insight, increase cognitive and emotional flexibility, and build practical skills to respond more adaptively to everyday demands.

Her clinical work centers on anxiety, depression, self-criticism, trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, relationship concerns, and broader mental health challenges. She approaches emotional experience as meaningful while working collaboratively to determine whether feelings accurately reflect current circumstances. Safety assessment is a routine part of her practice, and she regularly evaluates for suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, and other risk factors to guide appropriate care planning.

Heidi practices from a trauma-focused orientation and integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family and client-centered techniques, narrative approaches, and mindfulness to tailor treatment to each person. She also has experience working with veterans, children and families involved in foster care and reunification efforts, adolescents, and people with substance-use disorders. Heidi holds the LICSW credential, which indicates licensure as an independent clinical social worker.
