Hi, I’m Heather F. LaFleur (she/her), a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC), registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and the founder of Take It Easy Counseling & Wellness. I believe healing happens in safe, creative spaces where people feel seen, heard, and gently empowered to grow.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and expressive. I integrate evidence-based practices like DBT, CBT, and attachment theory with somatic and arts-based techniques to support children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and identity development. Whether we’re exploring emotions through storytelling, movement, or mindful breathwork, I meet each client with compassion and curiosity.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Davenport University and a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management from Ferris State University. My yoga teacher training deepens my mind-body offerings, allowing me to weave breath, movement, and mindfulness into the therapeutic process. My background in health systems and visual branding gives me a unique lens for creating spaces that feel both grounded and inspiring.

Take It Easy isn’t just a name—it’s a philosophy. It’s about slowing down, tuning in, and honoring your pace. My goal is to co-create a sanctuary where healing feels creative, collaborative, and deeply human.
