Heila Siebrits
doctoral student in clinical psychology
supervised by Kelleigh Head, PsyD
I am a Ph.D. practicum student in Clinical Psychology at Walden University, currently completing my clinical training under the supervision of Dr. Kelleigh Head. With roots in South Africa and a life now built in the United States, I bring with me a wealth of multicultural experience and a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people live, heal, and grow. I have a longstanding commitment to community upliftment to empower individuals and communities facing systemic challenges.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. I strive to offer evidence-based, goal-oriented interventions that are also culturally sensitive and grounded in empathy.
I work with an extensive variety of individuals and presenting concerns, believing therapy is a collaborative process where the client is the expert of their own life. I strive to meet clients where they are, offering a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space grounded in unconditional positive regard, deep respect for each person’s dignity and lived experience, and a commitment to being an affirming ally to all.
Having lived on two continents and experienced both collectivist and individualist societies, I bring a nuanced understanding of how cultural, historical, and relational contexts shape our identities and experiences. This awareness informs my commitment to multicultural competence and to honoring each client's unique story.

“We don’t hear much about how painful it is to go from being completely stuck to becoming unstuck. The process of becoming unstuck requires tremendous bravery, because basically we are completely changing our way of perceiving reality, like changing our DNA. We are undoing a pattern that is just not our pattern. It’s the human pattern.”
