Gail Henricksen, MA, LMFTA

As a therapist, I am deeply committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of their inner worlds to achieve healing, growth, and self-discovery. I am a systemic therapist, meaning that whether I work with individuals, couples, or families, I take a holistic, integrated approach that considers all the experiences, relationships, and connections that may be affecting areas clients wish to change. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, which views the human psyche as a dynamic system of subpersonalities, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and intentions. By understanding and working with these inner parts, we can address emotional wounds, reduce internal conflicts, and promote self-compassion and self-acceptance. At times, I may use additional approaches depending on the needs of the client. We will work on transformative change that supports growth at both individual and relational levels. This includes building communication skills, reducing stress, increasing self-esteem, peace, and joy, and identifying and working through the things that prevent you from getting to where you want to be. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of collaboration, and we will work together to set achievable goals and develop personalized strategies to help you achieve them. I recognize that each client is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Whether you are struggling with emotional wounds from the past, relationship challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. If you are ready to embark on a transformative journey toward self-awareness, healing, and personal growth, I invite you to contact me to schedule a consultation. Together, we can explore your inner world, address emotional challenges, and help you create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
