Meet Our Client Services Team
Heather Saltzman
Office Manager
Hi, I’m Heather! I'm proud to serve as the Office Manager at Healthy Minds Psychotherapy.
My extensive experience in client services has prepared me to provide the best possible experience for our clients. I understand the importance of a warm, welcoming, and efficient office, where you can feel comfortable and supported from the moment you walk in the door.
At Healthy Minds Psychotherapy my mission is to create an environment where you can focus on your well-being, knowing that our office is here to provide you with the care and support you need.
Terri Dionisi
Client Care Navigator
Hi, I'm Terri! As the Client Care Navigator at Healthy Minds Psychotherapy, I am often the first person you will connect with when you reach out to us. Whether you are trying to figure out which therapist might be the right fit, navigating insurance questions, or simply not sure where to begin, I am here to make that process as warm and stress-free as possible.
With over 13 years of experience in healthcare operations and program management, I have built my career around one core belief: that people deserve to feel supported and heard at every step of their journey. My background working across multi-site healthcare organizations has given me a deep appreciation for how important it is to have someone in your corner who can connect the dots and guide you in the right direction.
No question is too small and no starting point is too uncertain. If you are ready to take that first step, or just have something you want to ask, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am so glad you are here.
Rosie
Therapy Dog In Training
Hi, I'm Rosie, resident cockapoo and therapy dog in training at Healthy Minds Psychotherapy. I am the beloved puppy of Katharine, our Founder and Clinic Director, which means I have been hearing about the importance of a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space since before I was fully housetrained. I take the work very seriously.
I have not yet made my official office debut, but big things are in the works and I am told the team is very excited. In the meantime I have been preparing diligently from home: greeting visitors at the door, sitting with anyone who seems sad, and perfecting my soulful eye contact. My training is going extremely well.
Research consistently shows that the presence of a dog in a therapeutic setting can lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and make it easier for clients to open up. I consider this my calling. I have also been known to fall asleep mid-session, which Katharine insists is grounding rather than unprofessional. I choose to agree with her.
When I do arrive at the office, I look forward to meeting you. I already know I will love you unconditionally. That part comes very naturally to me.
