Heather Svoboda, MA, LP, LLC is a licensed psychologist providing psychotherapy in Minnesota, USA, practicing since 2009. Following earlier involvement in a small, personality-centered cult in the 1980s, she has engaged in local and national advocacy related to cult awareness and recovery.
Her clinical work includes supporting individuals who joined and later left, or were raised in, cults and other high-demand groups, as well as those affected by coercive control and abusive systems. Her approach is primarily talk-based and informed by experience with DBT skills, experiential play therapy, somatic and creative modalities, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), used with client consent.
She also works with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, the autism spectrum, and those experiencing mood- and anxiety-related concerns.
