Hello! My name is Adam Lenker. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas and Wisconsin. Whatever you are dealing with, know that I am here to listen and support you, through harnessing of compassionate self-awareness. I believe strongly in encouraging self-empowerment, focusing on choices and their results. Central to my theoretical orientation (Person-Centered, Existentialist) is a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, being solution-focused, as well as encouraging mindfulness. A little bit about how I approach therapy. In creating an alliance with a new client, I adopt a stance of listening and confronting situations non-judgmentally and with compassion, acknowledging that this work is about you, and your life's goals and struggles. My practice is built around partnership with my clients, working hard to establish and maintain this therapeutic alliance. I do this by taking cues of direction, pace and depth from the people with whom I work, and allowing for immediacy to inform what is and is not working.
To work for the "30,000 ft view" and start the conversations that we will collaboratively unfold in future appointments. I find use of the initial appointment as a "level set" for what clients can expect from my therapeutic style, moving forward.
Throughout my experiences working in mental health, I have discovered strong abilities to forge healthy therapeutic alliances with people of wide varieties of life-experience. I approach each appointment with a respectful curiosity and acknowledgment of the authority the individual possesses over their own experience. My approach is also filtered through a lens of trauma-informed care. Trauma often can leave a person with a sense of powerlessness. That trauma story is undoubtedly one part, but not the whole, of the person's story. I see it as an honor, to be invited into these intimate spaces, when a person shares their vulnerability with me, and in this risking of vulnerability, we turn toward the dissonance we may feel, and can find that, with the right support, the way out is through.
Veterans, LGBTQIA+, disenfranchised populations, people who have experienced religious trauma and/or religious deconstruction, ages 18-75 years old. I love working with individuals experiencing challenges in life transitions, as well as challenging the moral judgments of "unproductive," "unmotivated" and "lazy," focusing on the contexts that exist, even if that context remains unclear.

After my first session with Adam I feel comfortable that he will work with me very well and I look forward to seeing how our conversations and sessions develop. He seems very much able to relate to me and understand where I am coming from and where I want to go.
