Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Online in Alexandria, VA
Alexandria is a historic independent city directly south of Washington, DC, home to a large population of federal government employees, military personnel, contractors, and political professionals whose work creates a distinctive set of mental health pressures around high-stakes careers, security clearances, and the particular stress of working in proximity to political power. The city's cost of living is among the highest in the country, and financial stress sits alongside the intense professional demands of the DC metro workforce for many residents. A strong private therapy sector is well established in the Old Town, Del Ray, and Eisenhower Avenue corridors, and Alexandria residents also have access to the broader DC metro therapy market. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the career and identity pressures of a community defined by government and national security work.
