Tricia O’Connor joined Heritage Health in 2024 and currently works as a clinic-based counselor on the Neuro-behavioral team. Tricia has over 15 years of experience working in community, residential and private practice settings.  She went into counseling because she was drawn to the area of Psychology while studying Education in undergraduate studies.

Tricia specializes in helping people experiencing neurodiversity and loves working with individuals to identify strengths.  She believes a strong therapeutic alliance can provide a safe, collaborative space for individuals to share their story while working towards wellness, hope and strength.

Originally from Washington, Tricia has recently returned to the area from Oregon and loves spending time with her family, in nature and with her dogs Ranger and Rocky.

Tricia earned her Bachelor’s degree from Eastern Washington University in Developmental Psychology in 1997 and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Western Seminary in 2000.  She has a love of learning and has completed some post-graduate study at WSU.

A fun fact about Tricia is she is in process of learning how to golf!
