About
After working with patients for over 30 years, I have come to believe that setting clear therapeutic goals and establishing a working partnership of trust and commitment are keys to success. My aim is to balance acceptance, compassion, and validation with the need to make sustainable changes. Learning self-regulation and life skills are priorities. Developing effective action plans in a safe and non-judgmental environment also facilitate positive outcomes. I look for every opportunity to collaborate with other providers if my patients request this and are seeking a team approach. Dr. Heymen holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. She is an intensively trained Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist. Additionally, Dr. Heymen provides Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) for individuals who have experienced trauma. She also incorporates Internal Family Systems therapy. Dr. Heymen balances her personal life with Creative Dance which is a body, mind, and spirit fitness program. It combines dance, martial, and healing arts. Self-expression, and maintaining health through movement, are its guiding principles. She was certified as a Black Belt Nia instructor and founded The Joy of Movement Studio in Pittsboro, NC in 2011.
