Heidi Arias

MA, RCC - Lucero Therapy

Life is a journey of hills and valleys. Whether you're navigating trauma, complex family dynamics, adoption/foster care challenges, or the quiet weight of emotional exhaustion, you deserve a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My work is grounded in safety, compassion, and collaboration. I believe healing happens when we feel seen without judgment and empowered to move at our own pace. I integrate approaches such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and strengths-based to support healing at your pace. 

I bring both professional and lived experience supporting complex family systems, including adoptive and foster families, immigrant families, neurodivergent individuals, children, youth, and caregivers. I understand how trauma impacts relationships, identity, and sense of safety. I also speak Spanish and have specialized training in trauma and EMDR. 

My approach is gentle but intentional. Together, we focus on building skills, strengthening coping tools, and creating space for deeper trauma work when appropriate. I prioritize safety, containment, and helping you reconnect with your strengths. Reaching out for support takes courage. I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

  • As a Sea Scouts Leader I enjoy outdoor activities like kayaking, sailing, hiking and gardening. In my younger life I have flown Cesnas, jumped out of airplanes and completed sprint triathlons. Now in my 40s I prefer less muscles aches and enjoy daily walks with my dogs and kiddos. I also enjoy anything to do with my flavourful Latin American heritage.
