"We
all need empty hours in our
lives or we will have no
time to create or dream."
Robert

Deborah Heikes brings to her
clients a fresh and
vital
approach to counseling,
challenging the
often held
belief
that to change and
attain overall well-being,
the journey
must be hard and difficult
work. Play as a
therapeutic |
| |
|
modality
creates
a
sense
of
safety
and
healthy
distance
from
issues
and
concerns,
allowing
a
client
to
step
back
from
an
outdated
perspective
of a
problem
and
explore
other possibilities
and
viewpoints.
Using
play, enthusiasm and curiosity
as her central focus,
Deborah invites her
clients to
approach
parts of themselves
they
have
kept in the
shadows. Clients set out
on an
adventure to find,
befriend
and integrate
the many aspects
of themselves.
Deborah
acts as the encouraging
guide
whose own life
experience and
professional skill has
given her
the foundation
to go into unexplored
and often intimidating
territory.
Deborah deepest interest
is to instill in those
she works
with a sense
of life as a playground,
ready and waiting to
bring back the vitality
and adventurous spirit
of our authentic selves.

"Life offers an invitation
for us to rise each day, see
the playfulness it holds,
and embrace our capacity to
engage it."
