Gail Henricksen, MA, LMFT

As a systemic trauma therapist, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their inner complexities, fostering healing, growth, and self-discovery. I approach clients holistically, considering their relationships and connections using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as a foundation as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Using these dynamic models helps clients to identify and work with their inner system, promoting self-compassion and self-acceptance. The IFS methodology helps clients separate from overwhelming emotions, understand the root causes of their reactions, and facilitates them in resolving inner conflicts with self-compassion. The ART methodology helps clients rapidly overcome trauma, anxiety, and depression (to name just a few) by keeping the factual knowledge of an event or memory while permanently removing its associated emotional and physical pain. By understanding and working with an individuals 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. 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. 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.
