Heather Cronemiller MA, LICSW, CSAT
You are probably here because you are desperate for help and unsure where to turn. You might even feel crazy, broken, and alone. But you’re not.
I’ve worked with people overcoming love and sex addiction for over five years and helped people just like you show up in their lives the way they want to —as a healthy partner, parent, or loved one.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have gained a wealth of knowledge throughout that time. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), which means that I have been trained in the Gold Standard techniques for the treatment of love addiction, porn addiction, and sex addiction. I am also the co-author of the book, Going Deeper for Women: How Your Inner Child Impacts Your Love and Sex Addiction, as well as the corresponding workbook, alongside Dr. Eddie Capparucci and Lacy Bentley.
Outside of being a therapist, I have been married to my husband for 17 years and am a mother to two wonderful kids. If I’m not working or with family, I am probably taking care of my farm animal friends at Farmaste Animal Sanctuary in Lindstrom, MN, chatting with friends, or out exploring in the woods.
