Therapy for Children in Longmont
Heather Crate, MSW, LCSW

HI, I’M HEATHER!
I love to play and be goofy. I am also a very laid back person by nature. I often joke that if I could have any job in the world it would be to be a summer camp counselor, where I would get to play and sing camp songs all day outside. I truly enjoy the imaginative nature of children and know that there is a lot of healing that occurs through building connection and playing together.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in the field of gender and sexual orientation for over 10 years. I have worked directly with children and youth, in advocacy and training roles, and in program management. I am currently working toward my Registered Play Therapist credential. I have a Masters of Social Work from George Mason University and a Bachelors Degree in Sociology/Anthropology from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. I am passionate about building a world that celebrates and honors each unique person and what they bring to it. In my practice I work to create an environment that celebrates ALL children and families.

PERSONAL
I am also a parent to young children and a certified foster parent. I have experience working with children with intense early childhood trauma and attachment disorders. I enjoy spending time with my wife and children and experiencing the wonderful outdoor adventures that Colorado has to offer.

I understand how tough the parenting journey can be and look forward to supporting you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
