Heidi McCardell

I have had the pleasure of working in the mental health field for over 20 years! My inclusive and holistic approach resonates well with young, middle age, and older adults. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, I support people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, disordered eating, and life transitions. My passion for counseling is in helping you to find your mind-body connection and learn how a healthy relationship with your body is directly linked to your mental and physical wellness. Using trauma informed approaches in combination with DBT, ACT, Gottman, and Expressive Therapies we can find ways for you to relax, re-engage, connect, and let go. I’ve worked in multiple levels of care across different areas of the United States including the Rocky Mountain West, East Coast, and Midwest. I meet with clients in-person and virtually in Illinois. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and enjoy ballroom dancing, playing with my kids, and hiking in the forest preserves near my home.
