 Hi, I’m Heather Hyland, Clinical Supervisor and Therapist at UpliftMe. I am a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in early childhood mental health and parent support. I am passionate about family mental health. 

Oftentimes, when we become parents, it can be challenging to find balance meeting the needs of our children while maintaining our own well-being. Parents and children bring their own temperaments, development, and experiences into the parent-child relationship, sometimes bringing about discomfort. If you are a caregiver of a young child, I would like to support healthy social/emotional development, and nourish positive parent-child attachment through knowledge, understanding, reflection, non-directive play, and parenting strategies.

I have a special interest in giftedness, raising a son that has been identified academically. I have been attending training to support gifted individuals and families through the lifespan. Giftedness requires additional support at home, in educational settings, and special consideration as adults. If you are a gifted adult, a family with an identified child or a family wondering about giftedness for their child, I would like to support your journey by sharing knowledge, understanding, strategies, and promoting positive relationships.

Alongside my work with individuals and families, I support professionals working with young children through group and/or individual reflective supervision/consultation. If you are a home visitor and/or mental health professional looking for reflective supervision/consultation through CoAIMH endorsement and/or to support your work, please reach out.

When I am not working, I spend my time reading, watching TV/movies, volunteering, advocating, and exploring the great outdoors with my husband and son. We spend time in our community through playgrounds, libraries, walking/biking paths, and museums. We love learning through experience and the natural world.

I obtained my master’s degree in social work through Metropolitan State University in 2014 and a BS in Business Administration from Colorado State University in 2003. My experience consists of specializing in early childhood mental health and development through community-based agency work as a clinical supervisor, therapist, and home visitor.
