Heidi FitzGerald

Heidi offers an integrative, trauma-informed approach to therapy that supports whole-person healing. Her work is grounded in extensive training in IFS (Level 1), EMDR, CPT, CBCT, CBT, ACT, EFT, DBT, mindfulness, KAP, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. She thoughtfully tailors treatment to each individual, drawing from these approaches to meet the individual needs of each client.

Heidi has been honored to work closely with Veterans and first responders, including those in police, fire, and emergency medical services. She brings a deep respect for the strength of these communities, along with a compassionate understanding of the unique stressors and emotional toll associated with these roles.

While she conducts a limited number of psychological assessments, the majority of Heidi’s practice is focused on trauma healing. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, helping clients cultivate insight and guiding them to meaningful change from within. Her practice also includes Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Harm Reduction Integration. Witnessing the healing that can emerge from this work continues to inspire her hope in addressing the deeper roots of suffering and supporting lasting change.

Heidi earned her Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Acadia University, following an earlier career as a teacher and several years as a full-time parent to her three children. She has been a Licensed Psychologist in New Brunswick since 2001.

Heidi began her psychology career in Community Mental Health, where she held a variety of clinical and leadership roles. She later worked with Field Trip Health for two years, gaining specialized experience in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, before joining NuVista in 2023.

Heidi is deeply grateful to all the people who have trusted her with their stories and invited her to walk alongside them on their healing journeys. Her work is guided by a belief that healing is possible with compassionate and integrative care, rooted in addressing the deeper causes of suffering. She feels privileged to support others as they reconnect with themselves, their values, and the possibility of living with greater ease and wholeness.

Outside of her work, Heidi feels most grounded when spending time in nature. She loves traveling, hiking, and camping with friends and family. She values both teaching and lifelong learning, and is continually inspired by opportunities to grow, reflect, and connect—both personally and professionally.
