Seth Heatwole MS, MFT
I’m Seth Heatwole, and I’m passionate about working with teens, families, and parents. I do all my sessions online, so it’s easy to get support right from home. I specialize in Christian counseling, counseling for boys and young men, and therapy for anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting struggles.
3 Quick Questions for Seth
1. What’s your approach to counseling?
Teens often feel judged and misunderstood. Because of this, my first step is always creating a connection built on trust and care. Once that connection is established, we can identify the areas in their lives causing difficulty and explore ways to address them. I also believe that working with parents—through shared goals, feedback, and collaboration—is a key part of the therapy process.
2. Why do you enjoy working with teens?
Teens are a lot of fun, and it’s an honor to be able to guide them through one of the most pivotal (and often challenging) times in their lives. Helping them build healthy habits, face fears, navigate relationships, and plan for the future now lays the foundation for healthier, happier lives later.
3. Why do teens enjoy working with you?
Teens enjoy working with me because I genuinely love this age group, and they can sense that. I’ve worked with teens ever since I was a student leader in high school, which helps me connect with them easily. I bring fun and humor to our sessions, so they feel comfortable and accepted, while still knowing I’ll be direct and honest with them.

A Quote From Seth
“In a world that models a sense of blame and victimhood, I want every teenager I work with to experience the freedom and joy that come from taking personal responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Choosing to step outside their comfort zone, face their fears, and challenge their own thinking is empowering and helps build a healthy, confident sense of self.”
