Annessa Heaton

Annessa first fell in love with psychology in high school back in 2000. Since then she has worked at counseling centers, residential treatment centers, and in wilderness therapy.  She has been with our organization since 2010 and is very talented. She was one of our top family intervention specialists in our intervention branch, and is excellent at helping parents work with their children.

Bringing her to the current role as Resource Coordinator, Annessa has deep understanding of licensing requirements, a skill for managing the many logistics in our homes, and incredible attention to detail.  She manages Campus LIFE scheduling and helps the staff maintain a clean and organized environment.

Music, gardening, swimming, and dogs are her top passions. She also plays the piano, flute, piccolo, organ, ukulele, and mandolin. She loves singing and has been performing musically since she was 5. She believes that “life is difficult and beautiful and it is okay to ask for and accept help during difficult times. Through the help of others we can fully experience the beautiful aspects of life.”  Fun Fact: One of her goals is to own an alpaca/goat farm.
