Heidi Wilson, ND MS

She/her

Dr. Wilson’s path to naturopathic medicine began with a passion for mental health and a core belief that every human is wonderfully complicated in their own beautiful and unique way. 

She specializes in integrative mental health, which means that she holistically support patients in how they experience the world - mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. She work directly with mental health conditions and neurodivergence, as well as physical conditions that often overlap, such as chronic fatigue, IBS, insomnia, and pain.  

Treatment approach

Her approach to patient care is driven by her core values of curiosity, compassion, and authenticity. She’s particularly drawn to working with individuals who feel “other”ed by society or are treated as “less than” by the medical system. She feels strongly about practicing through a Health at Every Size (HAES) lens and providing a body positive/weight neutral space. She doesn’t assume what “health” means to any one person. Rather, she meets her patients where they are, learns about their lived experience, and partners with them to explore treatments or interventions that feel truly doable.

In addition to naturopathic modalities and pharmaceuticals as treatment options, she may incorporate counseling into patient visits. This may include discussing skills and tools that can be practiced at home, mindfulness techniques, somatic awareness, or exploring creative ways to make a patient’s environment more conducive to their goals. She also loves working on optimizing individuals’ foundations of health: sleep, nourishment/nutrition, movement, stress management, and joy. 

Her background

She has a Master’s of Science in Integrative Mental Health in addition to her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. Over the last 15 years, she has worked in various roles in the mental health field. Through her experiences in case management, residential treatment, and inpatient care, she has seen the strengths and weaknesses of conventional mental health care. She was delighted when she first discovered Amenda Clinic, where they were offering a truly holistic approach to mental health care. It was her “Aha!” moment and it sparked her pursuit of becoming a naturopathic doctor. 

Beyond the practitioner role

• Her heart belongs to her big fluffy dog and her little black cat.

• She finds joy in dancing, being barefoot in grass, taking strolls through the forest, exuberant silliness, and geeking out on Star Wars. She finds meaning and inspiration in nature, art, and music. 

• Ongoing endeavors: Challenging and unlearning intrinsic bias related to ableism, race, gender, sexuality, body size, neurodiversity, and any other potential blind spots. Learning about (and fully embracing) how her brain works and helping other neurodivergent folks do the same.

• A few more “likes:” Playing with herbs, drinking tea, chocolate, silly jokes and puns, cozy slippers, battling her inner perfectionist monster with abstract art experimentation, and one-minute solo dance parties.
