about whole family therapy
Hi, I’m Heather Wyatte. Is someone you love struggling with substance use or ADHD? Are you a parent lying awake at night, wondering how to help your child while trying to hold the rest of the family together? Are you a partner walking on eggshells—torn between love, burnout, and the hope that things can change?
Or maybe you’re the one carrying it—the overwhelm, the chaos, the shame—and you’re just trying to make it through the day.
Whatever your role in this story, you’re not alone. This work is about finding steadier ground—for individuals and for the people who love them.
Together, we create space for honest conversations, real healing, and the possibility of change—without judgment, and without pretending it’s easy.
Let’s start where you are.
Let’s make room for something different.
how does the therapy process work?
First, I meet with the individual, couple, or family in order to identify which type of therapy would best fit their needs. I customize my therapeutic approach based on each client, utilizing various forms of therapy. That said, when clients have a specific type of therapy that they are requesting, such as EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for instance, I am happy to utilize their preferred method. I see therapy as a collaborative process that we adjust and modify together as needed. My office includes a separate playroom area for kids of all ages, and I offer therapy sessions Monday through Friday in person or virtually.
my experience
I started practicing marriage and family therapy in 2020. My journey to becoming an LMFT included 5 years as a social worker helping adults with serious mental health issues, often in crisis settings. While working in early childhood education, I obtained a Child Development Associate, which enhances my work with children and families. I am currently training in EMDR and have extensive training in DBT, which is helpful with intensely troubled individuals and teens. Areas I have additional training include: emotionally focused therapy, Gottman Couples therapy, and play therapy.

get to know me
When we aren’t home snuggling with our two pups, my husband and I often spend time with our beloved nieces and nephew. In addition to visits with family and friends, I enjoy reading, puzzles and games, travel, working out, and walks with my dogs. As a Philly sports fan, I enthusiastically root for the Phillies, the Eagles, and the 76ers. And every fall I compete in a couple Fantasy Football leagues.
