In Person Therapists in Middletown, NY

As a therapist, my mission is to deepen the conversations we have with ourselves, creating opportunities for growth. By deepening our relationships with Self, we can gain better perspective on our choices — how we got to this moment, as well as how to move forward. Through a therapeutic, strength-based partnership in a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment, we will explore your potential and move toward a place of authenticity and contentment. I specialize in adults and adolescents who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, eating disorders, body-image, parenting, marital problems and attachment issues.

Hello, my name is Lisa Hendrickson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I am glad you decided to seek therapy and I hope we can work together to improve your well-being. In our sessions, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and identify your strengths and goals. I will use evidence-based techniques to help you overcome your challenges and enhance your quality of life. Therapy is a collaborative process and I thank you for trusting me with your care.

I offer more than twenty-five years of experience in Christian counseling. Almost twenty years were spent in New York City as a pastoral counselor in ministerial and clinical settings. My services combine professional training, experience as a clinical counselor, and a spiritual mentor. I provide confidential and affordable faith-centered professional services. My credentials include Master Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Organizational Leadership. THERE'S ONE MISSION - TO HELP YOU FIND PEACE, CONFIDENCE AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. (Jeremiah 29:11)

I believe it is a privilege to enter your world and share your experience. In therapy, I believe in asking good questions and standing beside you as you choose healing, wellness, and meaningfulness. I use an eclectic mix of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and Integrative Medicine, based specifically on your needs and goals.

Life has its stressors and sometimes you just need someone to talk to. By giving individuals the space to talk through what may be weighing on their mind, it helps detangle those thoughts so they can be viewed from a different perspective. Having that different perspective can give the opportunity to use coping skills and strategies that help clients meet their short- and long-term goals. I have worked with individuals who are trying to cope with grief and loss, trauma, daily stressors, anxiety, and depression. I strive to provide a safe, no judgement space for those who need a listening ear.

I have worked in the field of Psychiatric Social Work for 40 years. During this time my exposure to a large number of clients in many different settings has resulted in a solid background and effective treatment skill set. We can work together to help you feel better!

I whole-heartedly believe in the concept of “Feel then Heal.” Together, we can explore what is going on that is preventing you from living the life you want to live and cultivate solutions that realistically fit your life. I take a strength-based approach to counseling and believe you already possess the answers you need to become the best version of yourself, and that it is simply my job to help you find them. We can explore the thought patterns that may be preventing you from being able to move towards your goals and actively begin thinking about situations in a more positive way.

While many people seek therapy at times of great difficulty, I believe that therapy can also be a place to build skills and create practices that sustain lifelong happiness and fulfillment. As a transformative life coach and therapist, my goal is to guide you to find your way back to emotional balance, wherever your starting point may be. I am committed to helping you access your inner strength and courage, embrace your process, develop meaningful mutual relationships, and let your authentic human spirit shine.

Building relationships where individuals feel seen, heard, and accepted as who they are may be a struggle at times. Through executive decision making, and the ability to connect their inner mindset with their outer mindset, the individual themself is able to fulfill a promising, successful, and more positive lifestyle. Individuals may find themselves feeling stuck in the same frustrating relationship patterns, and the questions and deep inner thoughts of how this continues to happen can effect others and make them feel badly about themselves. The lack of empowerment in one’s life may take many forms, both great and small.

Take a breath. Making the choice to begin therapy is rarely an easy one. It can feel stressful and overwhelming - much like life itself. I welcome the opportunity to help guide you on this journey. My approach is collaborative and based around the belief that meaningful change occurs when people feel safe and supported.

Depression, overwhelming stress, racing thoughts, past experiences, relationships, existential questions- whatever keeps you up at night or keeps you in bed all day- it’s human, and sometimes it is so hard to be human.

The value of therapy is the way in which it can ignite personal growth and create inner peace. I believe every individual carries immense potential waiting to be released.

I see the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship as the path to wellness. Using evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and develop a plan that meets your needs.
