      <image:title>About - Growing Yourself Through Mindfulness, Art + Connection</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m Heather Blankenship, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Alabama. I specialize in working with children and adults using CBT and art-based practices. Many of my clients are working toward understanding their behaviors and developing the needed coping skills to navigate difficult emotional responses and experiences. I support children and adults in various life stages with unique experiences who need a compassionate and creative space to better understand their behaviors. Through a deeper understanding of one's self we can identify where changes and nurturing can begin.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>My goal as a therapist is to help each person I work with find healing and happiness through mindfulness, art, and connection. I believe we can all learn how to be kinder to ourselves and to feed the parts of us that need nurturing.</image:caption>
