About

Sandra Henderson

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

Treatment Approach

​

I work with individuals who struggle to navigate intense feelings and emotions.  These feelings and emotions can be overwhelming, and when coping strategies fail, therapy becomes a vital step towards healing.

​

I recognize how experiences, whether past or present, can have a profound impact on our physical and emotional well-being. 

​

My approach to therapy is centered around the mind and body connection.

We will focus on: 

• building your understanding of how experiences affect your mind and body

• identifying and explore what you want for yourself / what gets in the way

• developing practical strategies to soothe your nervous system

• managing your symptoms and increase regulation

• empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey

• helping you to increase balance and resilience
