Heidi Schaul-Yoder is a holistic psychotherapist with a firm belief in each of our innate wiring for healing and growth. She is no stranger to struggle, uncertainty and loss, and it was her own quest for healing that led her to her passion and life’s work. Her primary intention is to create a space to gently release restrictions and traumas, and to access inspiration, imagination, and insight in their many forms.
A Certified Gestalt Therapist and New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst, Heidi studied somatic psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis through the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy & Training in NYC. She has been supporting people therapeutically for the past nine years, addressing issues related to self love, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, and spirituality. She is also a yoga teacher, and has studied and integrated a wide variety of holistic healing methods including several forms of yoga, somatic meditation, self-massage, and therapeutic movement. At an earlier time in her life, she obtained her Masters of Music degree from The Juilliard School and spent many years performing and teaching as a professional violinist.
In her work, Heidi draws inspiration from mindfulness and Eastern philosophy, Gestalt psychology, attachment theory, somatic practices, the natural world, and art of all kinds. She is constantly learning, and continues to pursue advanced training in the nervous system, trauma, and the mind-body connection. Heidi sees therapy as a creative, collaborative process and a sacred space - she holds great compassion for this human experience, and a deep reverence for the mysterious blossoming of the human spirit.
