The Low-Maintenance Professional Heidi Seifert, psychotherapist
Seifert is a licensed social worker and clinical psychologist. She owns a successful private psychotherapy practice in New York City.
Signature look:
"Simple and neat. A little eye shadow, a little mascara and some color on the lips. The colors tend to be soft. It's a natural look, but it's feminine. Being a psychotherapist is a different kind of authority. I'm not an executive, but I need to look like someone people should want to listen to and trust."
Ultimate advice:
"When you're in a position of authority, you can't have too much fun with your look -- you don't want it to seem like that's your main priority. In my line of work, you have to be especially careful, because you don't want to send the wrong message to male clients. They tell you things they won't even tell their girlfriends -- there's intimacy there -- so your look has to connote professionalism. At the same time, you can't look 10 years behind. A lot of my clients are aware of what's in style, and they judge you based on that. I actually get a lot of fashion and beauty inspiration straight from them."
Beauty power play:
"Nice shoes. For some reason, as a woman, whenever you walk into a room, everyone looks straight at your shoes."
