Michael Henderson is fully booked.
Do you experience stress that can lead you to feeling overwhelmed? Does your stress cause you to isolate yourself from your family and friends? Are you struggling with thoughts that prevent you from being your 'true' self? I support individuals struggling with their thoughts and emotions to make sense of what challenges they face. Working together, we will explore current challenges, how your thoughts and emotions impact your efforts to make sense of these challenges and discover ways to empower yourself to resolve and flourish from these challenges. My role is to support you! Practicing as a psychotherapist for 18 years, I have extensive skills in mindfulness, support, and empowerment. In our sessions, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable space without judgment. I use compassion, genuine focus, and years of clinical training as a psychotherapist to support resolving your challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I will explore these challenges with you to create a specific plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
With over 18 years of clinical practice, I have trained and integrated several theoretical models into my treatment approach. I focus on Evidence-Based Practices involving Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also utilize Attachment-Based theories to understand relationships from the past and how they influence current relationships and mindfulness-based therapeutic models that emphasize awareness of oneself concerning emotional and cognitive challenges. My treatment approach focuses on understanding and building a therapeutic relationship focused on emotional resilience and strengthening you through your journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I strive to create a therapeutic relationship with my clients, providing an environment based on safety, trust, clarity and empowerment. Through accomplishing the therapeutic relationship, the client understands the impact thoughts and emotions have throughout their life. Empowerment also provides clarity to understand the past, and how past experiences impact coping and resiliency in the present. Clarity gives you insight, so you can understand the meaning of the past experiences to make sense of where you are now. Knowing yourself in the present allows you to move to the future with courage and strength.
