Work with Dr. Melanie Henson (EdD, LPC, CPCS)

About Me

Most clients would describe me as approachable, relational, effective, thorough, and teaching-oriented. After all, as a doctoral-level licensed professional counselor, my role is to work myself out of a job by assisting you to gain insight, skills, and renewed confidence. I have nearly 18 years of experience providing counseling to individuals struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, relationship conflict, low self-esteem, and communication difficulties. I tend to lean on cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and reality therapy techniques to aid individuals to improve their lives. I also provide clinical supervision to counselors-in-training which requires me to remain current on all research and evidenced based approaches to therapy.

So if you’ve always wondered what counseling would be like, or if you’ve had an unpleasant experience with counseling before, please allow me to partner with you to achieve desired change.

Dr. Henson is a great therapist. Iv never been able to stick with therapy before, but she is so easy to talk to it makes it a lot easier to get stuff off my chest.

I accidentally put strongly disagree in for one of the questions. All answers should be strongly agree. Dr. Henson is great.

Dr. Henson is attentive and follows up with me after every session with material she thinks might be beneficial or to check in when she knows I might be struggling with something. (Which I was NOT expecting!) She also asks how I think she is doing to make sure we touch on anything I want to work on/through and makes me feel comfortable expressing my unfiltered thoughts without fear of judgment. It’s exactly what I’ve needed!
