I’ve had great experiences with both Heather and Dr. Musec! I’ve seen Dr. Musec for years and recently transitioned to Heather for insurance purposes in recent months. Both Heather and Dr. Musec have taken the time to get to know me and, in doing so, have given me confidence in my plan of care. I highly recommend them—they are great at what they do and are lovely people!

Dr. Musec was very knowledgeable and caring during my visit. She recommended a few options for my stress and anxiety. After three weeks I can tell you my stress and anxiety has diminished greatly. I highly recommend Dr. Musec if you want up-to-date solutions for your mental health.

Taking the first step to seek mental health services was very challenging, but from the moment I called, the welcoming voices at the front desk made all the difference. They patiently walked me through the entire process, explaining insurance and how visits work, which really put me at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience starting this journey.

I had an amazing experience at Here & Now following a bad concussion from a severe car accident. I participated in neurofeedback, one of the many services they provide, and could not have asked for a better provider. Every interaction I had with the staff members was a pleasant one. I’ve recommended Here & Now to friends and family and will continue to do so!

This is where you do the work

Our gifted clinicians can show you pathways 
to family healing. But change only happens 
when you show up fully, speak honestly and 
listen openly. This vulnerability can feel uncomfortable. Yet leaning into that discomfort
is the only way to break patterns and write a 
new story. Our clinicians guide the way and provide support—you do the work.

Work with a 
clinician who 
understands you

Our deeply caring, highly trained clinicians become true experts on your family systems. They explain things simply without judgment, so you feel understood and sessions feel productive. You’ll look forward to appointments that bring everyone closer through better communication.

Bring your family together

Our compassionate therapists facilitate open, honest conversations to 
help families achieve greater harmony and connection. Call (847) 450-6393  or email hello@herenowmw.com to today to get started.
