Meet Dr. Heather Finley:
Promoting Restful Sleep, Pain Relief, and Holistic Wellness
"Witnessing the profound transformations clients achieved through clinical hypnosis inspired me to establish a practice dedicated to harnessing the power of the mind-body-spirit to enhance overall well-being and improve quality of life."
Founder of Hypnosis for Health Care
​Hello! For nearly 30 years, I have provided psychotherapy to a wide variety of clients and my work has helped bridge the gap between psychology and medicine. Following a decade in private practice, I worked at the University of Vermont Medical Center for 17 years, where I developed expertise in treating insomnia and then developed and delivered foundational psychological services within an innovative program recognized nationally for its integrative approach to chronic pain management.
​
These experiences have uniquely positioned me to assist you in improving sleep, alleviating pain, navigating life's transitions, and enhancing overall quality of life. I recognize my many privileges and strive to approach my work with cultural humility. I view my role as a supportive facilitator and guide, collaborating with you to access your inner wisdom and resources.
