Harvesting Joy Counseling - Coral Gables, Florida

I have been seeing Heidi since February 2023. This was my first time ever seeing a therapist. I never thought that I would need to see one in my lifetime, but a wise person told me, “Even the toughest person can buckle down".

My initial impression of Heidi was positive. She is genuinely nice, caring, and very professional.

Her office space is so nice and inviting. I enjoy sitting in the waiting area and therapy room because it gives off such a calming, positive vibe.

Since this was my first-time seeking help, I could not compare her with other therapists to determine if she was the appropriate one for me. As I started seeing her weekly, there were a few times that I thought to myself that Heidi was not the right therapist for me because I was not getting sufficient feedback. What was troubling me really got the best of me and I just did not want to talk for an hour and simply have someone listen and not give sufficient input. I shared how I felt with a friend of mine who told me that if I was not feeling comfortable, I had every right to find someone else. I have been told on many occasions that I tend to want to fix things immediately and it just does not work that way.

As time progressed, I felt more comfortable with Heidi and was able to truly share my feelings. There was a time that Heidi and her assistant were making bracelets with different inspiring words and would allow us to pick a few for ourselves and to hand out to our significant others. I always make it a point to wear my bracelets because once I look at them, it eases my anxieties.

As the months passed, I was making significant breakthroughs and I decided that I was ready to change my visits with Heidi from weekly to every two-three week. There have been many occasions where I have faced significant challenges between visits and all I could think is "how much I needed to talk to Heidi and couldn't wait for my next appointment".

Heidi is so compassionate, empathetic, soothing, and so very patient. I think that once you feel this way about your therapist, then that therapist is doing something right. Whenever I have a chance, I always make it a point to thank Heidi for listening to me, for giving me such great advice and for easing my anxieties. I honestly do not know what I would do without her.

Heidi is incredibly special, and God put her in my path for a reason.

Thank you, Heidi.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Heidi for her undivided attention and warm personality. I feel truly blessed to have found the perfect therapist that fits my needs. My sessions with Heidi are always very insightful. The fact that I learn so much from her during our sessions, makes me look forward to my next appointment.

It has been an overall experience, starting with the waiting area, the peaceful background sound and lovely aroma, live plants, deemed lighting... to the actual session in which I feel so secure to open up and be myself.

Heidi's undivided attention to my needs have been remarkable! She has managed to call me any time during the day during some difficult times and makes herself available via text as well. She is always there in real time which has been instrumental to my personal growth.

When I first came to her, I was like a wounded soldier in a battle field. It felt like I had a gray cloud following over me everywhere that I went. Shortly there after, I started seeing the sun shine through my life again and to this day.

I am glad that I can count on Heidi any day, as I would on a good friend ❤️...

I was searching for a compatible therapist—someone who listens, is honest, and understanding. After several disappointments, I finally found the right one. Finding a good therapist is extremely challenging and comes with many ups and downs. I'm so glad I met Heidi; she has helped me overcome many challenges and become the best version of myself. Thank you!

Dr. Heidi Guevara, the mental health counselor and supervisor for Harvesting Joy Counseling, is one of the best practitioners to guide you in your mental health journey. In the beginning, she has been nothing but excellent in her professionalism, services, and mannerism as well as showing deep empathy and care for her clients like me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need to recover of any anxiety, depression, and stress they are experiencing. I have only experienced her in her Virtual Office (for now), but you can choose to visit the clinic and see her in person for therapy sessions. Dr. Guevara is the best counselor out there, in my opinion.

Heidi is a wonderful therapist! She is so welcoming, listens and responds in such a caring way, yet also provides real, tangible feedback. The breakthroughs made during EMDR therapy are things I have struggled with for my entire life. She’s been so patient through the process and the results have blown me away. Highly recommend Heidi as an EMDR therapist.

Looking for counseling? WELL, YOUR SEARCH IS OVER- LOOK NO FURTHER!!! I am so incredibly relieved to have found the one and only Giselle. She is a therapy queen, in fact, the only one you need to see. The office is the coziest little space tucked away in an office building with jungle oasis vibes. It’s the cutest, I swear. Coral Gables is the WORST for parking but it’s on such a quiet street there’s literally ALWAYS parking. Enough reading and scrolling, sign up today. I promise you won’t regret 😉

I spent time looking for a therapist and I am grateful to have found Heidi. She is a great clinician that shows empathy and kindly challenges you to observe things with a different perspective. She speaks both Spanish and English and created a space where anything can come up without feeling judged, which for me are the main things I personally look for in a therapist. If you are looking for a therapist, I highly recommend her!

When my therapist for years moved away, I panicked. Luckily I found Heidi of Harvesting Joy in my health insurance network. She is delightful and really listens as well as offers thought-provoking perspectives. I also appreciate that she provides additional resources to assist me beyond our sessions. It's also great that she does in-person and virtual sessions as it's conducive towards my work schedule. Highly recommend and I've already been seeing improvement in my life.
