RECONNECT, REFLECT, & GROW WITH HEATHER LIV

Healing starts here.

What if you didn’t have to edit yourself to belong?

I’m Heather Liv, a compassionate, curious, counter-culture therapist in Grit City, Washington. Bring your complexity, your contradictions, and the parts of yourself you’ve learned to tuck away.

Come as you are.

Connection is medicine.

Sound Familiar?

When life pulls you in every direction, it can be hard to hear your own voice.

Maybe you’re worn out from holding everything together, navigating change, or trying to fit expectations that don’t fit you. Together, we can make space for what you’re carrying, get curious about what you need, and help you feel more connected to yourself. At Minding the Gaps we do it all with compassion, a sense of humor, and at your pace.

Something needs to shift.

You deserve room to breathe, and space to choose what comes next.

Maybe what helped you get through before is leaving you exhausted now. You’re noticing patterns, expectations, or ways of coping that no longer fit. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin exploring what could feel different.

Together, we can make sense of what’s happening, including the pressures around you, and reconnect with your needs and values. Change can begin with small, meaningful choices that make more room for you in your own life.

Let's find your way forward.

01 Shes, Gays & Theys

Space to explore your identity, untangle expectations, and find belonging. All without having to shrink or explain away who you are.

02 Disability & Chronic Illness

Your whole experience belongs here. Together, we’ll navigate the emotional weight of illness, disability, and a world that doesn’t always make room.

04 Grief and Trauma

Loss and overwhelming experiences can change your relationship with yourself and the world. We’ll meet what you’re carrying with compassion, at your pace.

03 Burnout & Overwhelm

When you’re stretched thin from holding it all together, we’ll make space for your needs, explore boundaries, and find a more sustainable rhythm.

Finding our Way together

Reach out

Send me a message with a little about yourself and what brings you here. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan. We’ll start wherever you are.

Make room for change

Together, we’ll explore what matters to you and find small, meaningful ways forward. That might mean setting a boundary, recognizing a need, or feeling more like yourself.

Make space for joy

As you reconnect with yourself, we’ll explore what brings meaning, pleasure, and connection to your life, even while making room for what’s hard. Duality means neither can exist without the other.

Connection, meaning, and a life that feels like yours.
