Counseling with Heather in Cleveland TN

You’ve struggled long enough and now you’re ready to connect with someone who can help. But how do you find a counselor who understands you? One you can really trust to help meet your needs?

My name is Heather Runyon, and I became a counselor because I saw and experienced how hard life with broken relationships can be. My desire is to help people who feel stuck and want to get out of the mess, or prevent the mess they’ve seen for others. I love seeing people not only heal, but become empowered to make a positive impact on their families, friends, and communities when they are happier and healthier.

I earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology and I am licensed as a Professional Counselor in both TN and GA. I have degrees from Richmont Graduate University, Lee University, and Southern Adventist University, so I am well-trained in the integration of Christianity and Psychology. When clients are open to faith-based resources, it expands our options considerably. I have also done advanced training in CBT, Family Systems Theory, and the Gottman Method of relationship therapy.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationships. Since many of my clients want to avoid or stop needing medication, I love to incorporate natural, holistic routines that research shows to be helpful. Lifestyle interventions put control back in your hands. I find that what’s good for the body is good for the brain, and the brain is what we want to work as well as it possibly can since it manages everything in your life! I believe as we move toward health, we move away from all kinds of unhealth: physical, mental, emotional, and relational.

It can feel like a big step to call a counselor, but I’ll make it easy. We’ll spend 15-minutes on the phone or a video conference, and I’ll let you know if and how I can help your specific situation. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to get you to that person.

Contact me at (423) 650-2849 or fill out the form on the Contact page to schedule your free 15-minute phone or video consultation for working together in Cleveland, TN or online. I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover your path to a better life.
