Meet our Founder, Heide

Heide Perry-Bringman is the mother of a thriving young adult, a nationally certified and dual-licensed professional counselor, a writer, a creativity enthusiast, and a long-time business owner. She loves supporting people to live their best life and strives to help clients achieve real, lasting results.

​

She's the kid who has known what she wanted to do since high school. When her close friend went through a family tragedy and did not have access to therapy, a passion was sparked. Her friend's parents were Deaf and therefore could not find a therapist with whom to process their child's death. Why? Because few - if any - therapists in their area were fluent in American Sign Language. At age 15 she decided that was a problem she wanted to solve. Heide attended the only Deaf university in the world as a hearing person and obtained her graduate degree with honors.

Her passion to help marginalized populations only grew as she personally experienced postpartum depression and anxiety. She then leaned into learning about alternative relationship styles while living in the hub of polyamorous America. Heide's heart has always been invested in meeting the needs of underserved groups, and she loves offering non-judgmental access to positivity-based support.
