We are pleased to feature Heather Binns, working with DirectShifts as a Behavioral Health Therapist with 30 years of experience in providing individual therapy, group therapy, and hospital-affiliated intensive outpatient program for depression and anxiety. An accomplished Mental Health Practitioner with substantial experience, knowledge, and training in many aspects of the field of behavioral health and psychology. She holds a Master's Degree in Counseling from Chadron State College (USA) and certification in Kain Ramsey’s Coach Training Program (Scotland).
We asked her to share some of her achievements, experiences, and challenges faced as a therapist with our readers. This will be a source of learning and great career advice to all the new and aspiring graduates and healthcare professionals in 2022.
I've been a behavioral health therapist for over 30 years, working in a variety of career settings in the field of psychology and currently in private practice for the last 15 years. When not at work, I enjoy nature, reading, gardening, working with animal rescues, and spending time with my family. That is the basis of my therapy career.
Tips for a successful therapist career by Heather:
“I believe that at our core we are all healthy, wise, and resourceful and have the capacity to grow into a life that reflects our values and who we truly are.”
