Antoine Heard, LCSW

Antoine Heard is a California-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He emphasizes an active, collaborative approach that values clear communication and emotional processing, believing that silence can slow progress and that the right support helps individuals navigate life’s challenges.

Antoine encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers a respectful, goal-focused space where clients can work on coping skills, improve relationships, and rebuild self-esteem. His practice centers on practical strategies and interpersonal growth tailored to each person’s needs, drawing from client-centered methods as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method.

Throughout his seven years of work, Antoine has focused on helping people move forward from difficult experiences and regain a sense of direction and resilience. He combines a compassionate stance with evidence-informed techniques to help clients address immediate concerns and build longer-term coping resources.
