"You are the narrator of your story - I simply help you hear your own voice."

For more than thirty years, Heather Tietjen-Mooney has been devoted to the art and science of healing — helping individuals and families navigate change, recover from trauma, and rediscover their inner strength. A licensed clinical social worker and art therapist, Heather integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with creative and holistic approaches that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Her work spans the lifespan. Heather provides therapy for children and parents using Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and draws from family systems and structural family therapy to strengthen relationships and communication. She also works extensively with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, personality dynamics, addiction, and identity development.   

For couples and families, she offers compassionate support for those healing from divorce or working to rebuild connection and trust. Heather has led programs in school-based settings, community initiatives, and academic environments, bringing decades of experience in program development, supervision, and clinical training. She is equally comfortable guiding new therapists as she is sitting with clients in life’s hardest moments.

Outside the therapy room, Heather is a traveler, painter, writer, and lifelong lover of nature, music, and film. She believes every person’s story is worthy of curiosity and care — that growth happens in reflection, connection, and the pauses between life’s transitions. Her practice, Good Therapy LLC, reflects this philosophy: a place where healing is steady, creative, and deeply human. Good Therapy LLC — where reflection meets science, and healing is both an art and a practice. 

At Good Therapy, conversations don’t end when the session does. Here, talk and reflection are paired with practical tools, between-session coaching, and personalized follow-up that help you apply insights in daily life. Every session ends with a clear takeaway — something to practice, notice, or challenge before we meet again. This balance of reflection and action allows therapy to move beyond insight into real, sustainable change

At Good Therapy, I integrate trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches—including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and expressive techniques rooted in art therapy—with a holistic understanding of mind, body, and emotion. Each session is individualized to support your unique needs, whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or addiction, or navigating deeper transitions in relationships, identity, or purpose. Therapy here is both reflective and practical—focused on helping you find clarity, healing, and strength through every stage of change. 

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and relational, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to support each client’s unique goals and pace. Therapy here is both reflective and practical. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or addiction, or navigating relationship challenges, grief, burnout, or major life transitions, my work helps you move from reactivity to intentional choice — from surviving to living with clarity, healing, and strength. Each session is individualized to meet your emotional, relational, and behavioral needs, offering tools you can apply beyond therapy.
