Child Counselor therapist Heather Sherman Littleton Denver Colorado

Hi! I am Heather.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed School Social Worker with over seven years of experience working with elementary- and middle school-aged youth. My experience as a school social worker has prepared me to treat a broad range of issues that may be interfering with a child’s ability to reach their full potential. I currently specialize in working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, ADHD, trauma, peer relationships, and oppositional behaviors. I also enjoy working with caregivers to help them understand their children’s feelings and behavior, and to teach them skills to help address their concerns.

When working with children and teens, I use an integrative and client-focused approach that incorporates a variety of therapeutic modalities to best meet each child’s needs. I have two certified therapy dogs (Mel and Louis) who are an integral part of my practice, and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Animal Assisted Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Play Therapy Techniques, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness Approaches. If it sounds like I am a good fit for your family’s needs, please contact me. I would love to speak with you to discuss how I can address your concerns and help your child or teen!

 

Meet Mel & Louis

Hi! I am Mel (on the left) and I am Louis (on the right). We are both certified therapy dogs and love spending time with our friends during session. When we are not working at Moving Mountains Counseling Center, we spend our days at a school providing support and comfort to our student friends. We are told we are both very cute, but there is more to us than just our cuteness!

Mel: Some say my name Mel is short for my Mellow disposition. I love being a part of therapeutic interventions, and being a familiar and trusting helper, especially when my friends are going through hard times. When I am not working, I enjoy napping and being with my family.

Louis: WOW, I just love everyone! I love getting attention and I get really excited to visit with my friends. I have a lot of energy, which makes me a great support for those who need active interventions, as I help teach them how to be mindful of their physical boundaries and impact on others. I can’t wait to meet you!
