Heather Stocker

Working With Couples & Families

Therapy should be a safe space for healing and building stronger connections—both within yourself and with the people who matter most. Heather works with couples, families, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and challenges within family systems. She is especially interested in helping couples and families who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in difficult patterns.

Heather also values walking alongside families facing difficult health news, such as a chronic or terminal diagnosis, as well as those grieving the loss of a loved one. She offers in-person therapy at our Powhatan office for clients who want face-to-face, relationship-focused support.

Her approach is compassionate, open, and inclusive. Heather affirms LGBTQIA+ identities, welcomes alternative and non-biological family structures, and honors the many cultural ways families are defined. She draws from attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients move toward greater connection, peace, and resilience—both individually and relationally.

Heather is a Clinician in Training, currently pursuing her MS in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella University. She practices under the supervision of Amy Reamer, LMFT, and Missy McKissick, LPC. Her work is supported by regular consultation and supervision to ensure thoughtful, ethical, and high-quality care for individuals, couples, and families.
