About Me

Heather N Foster, MA, LPC, RPT-S

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) who has been practicing in the field for 24 years. I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and Behavioral Analysis from Pacific University School of Professional Psychology in Portland, Oregon in 2001. I moved to Colorado in 2006 where I spent 18 years in a non-profit mental health center providing therapy to children and families of all ages and backgrounds. It is there that I developed my passion for the Early Childhood population and earned my RPT-S in 2017. With over two decades dedicated to trainings in numerous evidenced based practices and certifications for treating children and families, I have had the privilege of being a part of hundreds of client’s unique pathways to success in achieving their goals.

In addition to providing outpatient individual, family and group counseling to children and families, I have provided supervision and coaching to other therapists involved in outpatient and school-based clinical programming to help sustain and expand various community programs. I have a passion for prevention services and providing the internationally acclaimed Incredible Years Programs to thousands of Pre-school and Kindergarten aged children for 18 years was one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Supporting the development of social-emotional skills in early childhood allows me to make a life-long impact on children’s overall emotional wellness and academic success. Though I have a specialty with treating children 0-12, I am very experienced with treating youth of all ages who are struggling with a wide range of concerns.
