Heather Murray, LCSW
She/They
Owner and Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist
Do you sometimes feel like your own biggest critic? Ever wonder who you might be without life's little traumas holding you back? Does your anxiety voice drown out your inner champion? If you find yourself stuck and seeking answers, you're not alone.
​
I'm passionate about working with teens (preferably 15+, but younger with approval from therapist), young adults, and adults who have a trauma history or struggle with self-understanding. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I create a safe and welcoming environment where we can explore your trauma history, sexuality, gender identity, and whole personhood together. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy and that everyone deserves respect, wholeness, and support on their unique journey through life.
My Story
Before starting my private practice, I spent 14 years in child welfare, 3 years in school-based mental health, and 6 years running group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities. For the past 5 years, I've been a mental health provider in North Georgia. I love working with people from all walks of life, and I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodiverse individuals, and teens.
Fun facts about me:
1. I enjoy traveling with my family and introducing my teenager hte to different cultures and ideas.
2. My bulldog, Minerva, is my boss and will generally be present for teletherapy sessions. NO! That's not a freight truck you hear, it's Minerva!
3. I drink way more hot tea than one should! My favorite is Scottish Breakfast Tea.
