About Heather
Heather Zarate Santiago is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Heather provides care in both English and Spanish and practices in California.
She approaches sessions with cultural awareness and compassion. Heather listens for how communication and social patterns shape daily life. She helps people name what is hard, try small changes, and practice new ways of coping.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills alongside deeper emotional work. That can mean practicing ways to manage anxiety, exploring reactions tied to past trauma, or building routines that support attention and self-worth. The tone is supportive and unhurried, with an eye toward practical steps that fit real life.
Heather also helps people navigate relationship shifts, caregiving stress, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She addresses issues like immigration stress, jealousy, and social phobia with sensitivity to each person’s story. Her aim is to help clients find clearer choices and more steady coping.
People who prefer a collaborative, culturally aware therapist may find her approach a good fit. Sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focus on helping people reconnect with strengths. To begin, clients follow the platform’s matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
