About Mandy
Mandy Heisler is a psychotherapist based in Baltimore, MD who sees clients throughout the state of Maryland and DC via virtual sessions.
As a licensed therapist, I have over eight years of experience working with individuals and families of various ages and backgrounds in school, hospital and private practice settings. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress, often accompanied by challenges with self-esteem, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. I especially enjoy working with female teens, college students, and young professional women who view themselves as self-aware and motivated to achieve meaningful personal growth. And, as a biracial (Asian/White) therapist, I am knowledgeable about unique identity issues for biracial/multiracial individuals and am passionate about supporting others in this area. In addition to my work with clients, I am a Maryland board approved supervisor and offer supervision services for social workers working toward their clinical licensure. Outside of sessions, I love exploring local coffee shops, listening to live music, going to yoga or pilates classes, and interior decorating.
MY APPROACH IN THERAPY
I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, and view clients as the experts of their own lives. In sessions, I use a person-centered and integrative approach to use tools and techniques that are the right fit for you. Additionally, I utilize CBT and ACT based strategies.
Beyond this practice, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher and I see infinite value in incorporating mindfulness techniques that promote a feeling of connection, awareness, and balance between your mind and body. This is a unique and integral part of my efforts and practice. I will always bring empathy and kindness in our sessions to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore, grow and achieve your goals.

Who I Work With
-
Teens go through constant changes and can face stressors related to school, social media, and relationships. As parents, it can be difficult to know if a teen’s behavior is age appropriate, or if they would benefit from seeing a therapist. Therapy can empower teens in developing tools and strategies to support growth and success. It provides a safe space for them to express themselves without fear or judgment. If you have noticed changes or you have some concerns about your teen’s behaviors or mental health, I am here to answer any questions and support you with this process.

The challenges college students face today are complex and varied. You may feel pressure to achieve success or meet expectations placed on you.
