Heather Makowicz, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Welcome to my page! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified spiritual director specializing in caregiver stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue. As a Catholic Christian therapist, I provide integrative, faith-based healing that supports both your mental health and spiritual well-being. Caring for others is a beautiful, sacrificial calling, but it frequently leads to deep emotional, physical, and spiritual depletion. Through our sessions, I offer a compassionate, secure space where you can safely process your heavy burdens. We will work together to rebuild your resilience, restore your energy, and navigate the unique challenges you face. I uniquely blend evidence-based clinical practices with the rich traditions of Catholic spiritual guidance. My goal is to help you heal by treating the whole person, mind, body, and soul. Whether you are dealing with burnout from looking after an aging loved one, navigating vocational fatigue, or feeling spiritually disconnected, my practice is rooted in faith-informed, grace-covered support. My approach is grounded in the belief that seeking professional help is a powerful step in stewarding the life and body God has entrusted to you. Together, we will focus on: Clinical Therapy: Using established, evidence-based methods to address the practical, psychological symptoms of caregiver burnout. Spiritual Direction: Fostering a deeper relationship with God, finding renewed purpose in your circumstances, and recognizing His presence amidst your struggles. Boundary Setting & Self-Care: Learning to implement healthy, life-giving boundaries that protect your well-being without compromising your Christian values. Faith Integration: Drawing on prayer, virtue development, and the sacraments as practical, comforting tools for daily coping and endurance. Taking care of your mental and emotional health is never selfish; it is an essential part of being able to love and serve others. If you are looking for a therapist who truly understands the demands of the caregiving journey and honors the fullness of your Catholic faith, I am here to walk with you. I invite you to schedule a consultation to explore how we can partner together toward healing, rest, and peace.
