Hi, my name is Ada Heninger, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, family issues, domestic violence, crisis, and grief/loss. I am open-minded and believe in a client-centered approach. The focus of treatment is on what matters most to the client.

Therapy doesn't have to take years - you can be on your way to a healthier happier way of relating to people and the world around you sooner than you may think.

Typical clients include those who have an abuse history. This history can range from physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Many clients experience nightmares, loss of appetite and pleasure, relationship disturbance and high levels of anxiety and depression.

I have extensive experience in play therapy, and I deeply understand its importance in helping children express themselves. I thoroughly enjoy incorporating therapeutic games, art, and creative mediums such as clay and playdough into my work with kids. Allowing children to express themselves in an alternative way allows for a safe environment to explore any difficulties or trauma they have experienced. No matter what your child is going through, I would love to support and guide them towards processing and growth.
