MJ Heinz, LCSW

Now scheduling new clients for November, 2024!

MJ earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Smith College and her Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Children, Youth, and Families from Indiana University’s School of Social Work. Her background includes supporting queer and gender diverse youth and their families at GenderNexus, Riley’s Gender Health Clinic, and Indiana Youth Group (IYG). She is passionate about providing care that is trauma-informed, anti-racist, client-centered, and strengths-based.

MJ works with youth, adults, and couples, and specializes in working with LGBTQ+ individuals of all ages, clients struggling with depression, anxiety, questions of identity, and navigating impacts of trauma and stress. Her training includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and trainings offered by the Wildflower Flower Alliance, which specializes in instructing clinicians to holistically support individuals struggling with suicidality and significant trauma within a harm-reduction framework. Her philosophy when supporting clients is to maintain an approach centered around gentle curiosity, validation, an understanding of vulnerability, and meaningful connection to community. She is passionate about supporting individuals of all ages to thrive as their most authentic selves through building a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Outside of work, MJ loves running marathons, growing mammoth sunflowers, experimenting with new vegan recipes, and has high hopes to one day be a surfer!
