LPC/MHSP, 13 years of experience
I'm Kirk Henderson, and I provide therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have years of experience treating Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Depression, Anxiety, Phobias, Trauma, and Grief. I help clients navigate life transitions such as career change, divorce, and staying in a difficult marriage successfully. I work with couples experiencing marital conflict to find a new place of intimacy and connectedness. Having a background in pastoral ministry, I am also able to provide faith-based interventions for those clients who require a spiritual dynamic in the counseling experience. Please feel free to call me with any questions, or to set up an initial consultation, and I will be glad to assist you in your journey towards peace and wholeness, and relationship success.
In the first session, I want to hear more about you and what led you to seek out therapy. I will have some questions for you, and will ask you to tell me your story. Together, we will create a goal or two for therapy that will help you move forward.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address depression and anxiety symptoms. CBT helps you to identify the different thoughts that are causing you stress, fear, and sadness. I will help you identify these thoughts, and together, we can challenge these thoughts and restructure them to be healthy, positive, and accurate. I use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) for traumatic experiences. Many of my clients prefer to simply use Talk Therapy. They want a place to process their thoughts and feelings and are looking for an insightful response from a professional or someone to help them think through difficult decisions and significant life changes like divorce, separation, new career path, and social concerns.
I love my clients. I am caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. You will find your therapy experience to be one of safety and growth. I will be invested in your healing process, and am intuitive, encouraging, and strength-based in therapy. This means that I help you understand your unique personality, your strengths, and how you function in various settings. If you are experiencing trauma, whether from childhood or adulthood, you will benefit greatly from EMDR.
If you are in a difficult marriage or relationship, and you are considering leaving your partner, staying, or simply need to decide what to do, I am here for you. I will help you navigate your options and help you get your power back. You may be experiencing a toxic partner or spouse, and feel you have no support and no means of figuring out what to do next. I can help! If you are a Christian and are concerned about how this part of you factors into your decisions, I am especially equipped to help you.

I had been having fairly significant marital issues with regard to communicating effectively with my wife. What I'm achieving with therapy is being able to walk through the situation, receive optimistic feedback from a knowledgeable outside source, and talk through solutions to move forward with. My wife says I'm a man of few words, so it's been helpful to work towards optimistic solutions for a better marriage going forward.

While he was previously chosen by my husband for marriage counseling due to his philosophy which includes Christian principles, I have returned myself for personal counseling in lieu of choosing a divorce counselor. He has been helpful in being an advocate for me and my well-being while maintaining my marriage.

Kirk has met with me a handful of times and he has communicated kindness and empathy and understanding of my needs. I thinks it’s going to be a good fit.
