Heidi Vela, LCMFT

Manhattan, KS

 

I am excited to provide individual and family therapy to the Greater Manhattan Area.

 

Hi, I’m Heidi. I am a clinical marriage and family therapist that has been providing therapy to the Manhattan area for over 10 years.

As a therapist I am firmly rooted in attachment and systems theories. These theories guide me in individual, couple, and family sessions with my clients. I have a real passion for family therapy and often feel energized by working with multiple family members at once.

I’m open to working with a wide range of mental health challenges and am willing to explore different approaches. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to find what works best for you, and I’m committed to learning and adapting along the way.

In the therapy room, I strive to be inclusive, energetic, and authentic. I’m a direct therapist who isn’t afraid to challenge my clients, but I always make sure to bring a good sense of humor along the way.
