Bio
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Chicago area focused on providing outpatient mental health services to individuals, families, couples, children, and adolescents.
I have the experience to recognize the needs and behaviors of a diverse population of clients of all ages. My background in Child Development has proven to be an invaluable piece of my clinical work and is often the foundation of my work with children, adolescents, and parents. I have practical experience in both the social work and child development fields that has expanded my clinical knowledge and further developed my ability to provide effective therapeutic treatment in the mental health community.

Recommendations
Michelle Conrad, Chicago
Heather was my go to consultant regarding children and adolescents. Not only did she have a wealth of resources, she was also able to supervise at moment's notice and was quick not to offer advice, but to offer insight, the best form of supervision.
It was a great pleasure to work under Heather and I can say I've learned so much from working with one of the best.
As a clinican, Heather is able to work with compassion and empathy in regards to all of her clients. She is insightful and willing to work with anyone!
Jill Scheurer, Park Ridge
As a colleague, I have worked closely with Heather, and I have found her very knowledgeable, creative and effective working with children and their families. She displayed compassion and resourcefulness as well as a strong ethical practice. I have always felt reassured when referring children to her for treatment. It was a pleasure working with her.

I would highly recommend Heather Schulien. Her kind, thoughtful approach has been extremely helpful and allows you to deal with your stress at your own pace. As a skeptic coming into to counseling, I had low expectations for results, but Heather is a professional, and knows what she is doing and how to guide.
Her office is flexable and makes it work with your schedule.
