Rhonda-Lea Hensley LPC

You will come away from a session with me feeling heard, supported with acceptance, and understanding. Each session will provide hope that things can be different. There may be assignments to complete before the next session. I will provide my clients with insight into irrational beliefs, how those beliefs impact their lives and how to change them. I will provide tools to use and actions to take that can empower the client to change and live a healthier, holistic life. Through collaborative work, I help my clients uncover what works for them, discover unhealthy thoughts and behaviors that are causing them problems and discard these unhealthy coping mechanisms to free them to be themselves, feel they are enough, and have the courage to change.

I take a integrative approach based on the client's needs. I lean strongly on Humanistic Counseling which is client centered, focusing on unresolved issues, and the person's freedom to make choices. I am solution focused providing insight and direction to accomplish behavior change to change thoughts and feelings that change core beliefs that are causing problems in a person's life. I also use a holistic view focusing on healing mind, body and spirit. Change can be scary, uncomfortable, and painful. I help my clients navigate the "messy middle" by authentic, supportive (sometimes humorous) collaboration.
