Heather Wilmore

My name is Heather, and I am the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Caring Counselors, Inc. For some, obtaining psychiatric medication management services is a daunting task. When patients come to my office, I aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment where they feel comfortable and heard. I recognize that my patients are the experts regarding how they are feeling. 

So, it’s essential for me to really listen to my patients. I believe it’s my job to help my patients through medication or psycho-education to live their best life. Many of the patients I serve experience issues with Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. However, I can provide service to all individuals encountering psychiatric symptoms. I provide psychiatric medication management services to children, adolescents, and adults.

We all aspire to improve ourselves, to experience a better sense of well-being, yet we often find ourselves struggling in this pursuit. If you're seeking guidance to enhance your quality of life, or even to discover what a fulfilling life looks like for you, I am here to accompany you on this journey of self-discovery and growth.

As a therapist with many years of experience, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. Being an African American male, I have a deep, personal understanding of the various challenges related to race and gender, challenges that often lead to unique and complex traumas.

This has enriched my understanding and empathy towards the varied life experiences of my clients.

My expertise includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-focused interventions, and short-term solution-focused therapy.

Meged Eisenberg

Hello. Regardless of whether you’re trying to work through a problem, grow as a person or couple, or just need someone to listen, seeking therapy means seeking change – and I think that takes guts!

No matter what we’re discussing, my focus is always on seeing your world as you see it – because I believe that real healing begins when we have a compassionate and non-judgmental space in which we can freely express ourselves and feel understood.

I take a culturally sensitive approach and draw from a number of different perspectives including cognitive-behavioral therapy (challenging self-defeating thoughts and beliefs), psychodynamic therapy (understanding how our early-life experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world), mindfulness (noticing and accepting what we are experiencing in the present moment), and existential therapy (finding meaning in life).

I look forward to working with you!
