Heidi Klosterman, LPC | NCC
I am thrilled to be a part of the team at Lumen Wellness and Counseling, a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental space offering holistic care to meet diverse member needs. Whether you are struggling with a relationship, having difficulty in your parenting journey, need help processing a past trauma, or struggling to understand your unique brain, Lumen can help.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri and hold National Counseling Certification. I received my Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Missouri - St. Louis and my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Religion from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana. I have a great passion for and advanced training in mindful hypnosis, trauma, and neurodivergence. After initially coming to St. Louis to work with refugees at the Center for Survivors of Torture and War Trauma in 2005, I continued my work in educational equity and advocacy at St. Cecilia Academy in south St. Louis, supporting the multicultural needs of middle and high school students and their families.
Couples
I work with couples facing relationship challenges related to personality differences, values conflicts, infidelity, and parenting. I provide a supportive, neutral space where partners can improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand themselves and one another.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping couples identify unhealthy patterns, strengthen emotional connection, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Whether you’re navigating conflict, recovering from betrayal, or adjusting to change, I seek to help couples create healthier, more fulfilling and authentic relationships.
Neurodivergence – ADHD, Level 1 Autism and/or Giftedness
*Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist
I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, including women with ADHD, young and middle-aged adults with Level 1 autism, and/or teen giftedness. I provide a supportive, affirming space for clients who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or exhausted from masking and navigating expectations in a world they don’t always quite understand.
My approach is strengths-based, collaborative and direct – the goal is always aimed to help clients build self-understanding, manage anxiety and burnout, and implement practical tools for success in college, the workplace, and relationships.
Aging and Life Transitions
I work with older adults, caregivers, and family members navigating the emotional and practical challenges that come with aging, health changes, and shifting family roles. Caregiving and later-life transitions can bring stress, grief, relationship strain, and difficult decisions, and I provide a supportive space to process these experiences with compassion and clarity.
My approach helps individuals improve communication, cope with changes in health or independence, and find balance while honoring dignity, connection, and emotional well-being during this stage of life.
Trauma & Complex Trauma
I specialize in working with individuals affected by trauma and complex trauma, including experiences related to family history, intergenerational patterns, world events, and illness/injury. Many clients carry the emotional impact of long-term stress or inherited trauma that affects their sense of safety, relationships, and well-being.
Using a trauma-informed approach, I help clients build emotional regulation, increase self-understanding, and move toward healing with compassion and resilience.
