Dr. Aimee Heinze, PsyD, pending psychology associate
Therapy and psychological evaluation for ages 16 and up

​

Dr. Aimee Heinze (she/her) works with adolescents and adults on anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, autism, trauma and stress-related concerns, life transitions, and relational difficulties. Her particular focus is affirming care for people who have run into barriers finding it: autistic and ADHD clients, D/disabled clients, and LGBTQIA+ clients exploring different aspects of their identities. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ and disability communities herself, that work is personal as well as clinical.

​

She joins Olympic Psychology Services after completing her clinical psychology internship at Portland Mental Health and Wellness in Portland, Oregon. She earned her PsyD in Clinical Psychology from William James College in Massachusetts, following undergraduate studies at Bay Path University. She currently under the supervision of a licensed psychologist while completing the requirements for psychologist licensure in Washington.

​

Her approach is grounded in humanistic and trauma-informed relational psychodynamic theory, with feminist and liberatory perspectives woven through it. She believes that how a person's identities, relationships, environment, and lived experiences shape their mental health is part of the work rather than background to it. She collaborates with clients to explore their beliefs, self-concept, relationships, and the adaptations they have built over a lifetime, and to sort out what they want to change and what they want to carry forward.

 

Her clinical experience includes individual and group psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and crisis assessment.

Outside the office, Dr. Heinze hikes and explores trails with her wife and their dog, Silly Goose. She also crochets, cross-stitches, paints, does puzzles, identifies wildlife, and gardens with their family cat, Detective Doodlebop.
