Don Henderson

IAs a licensed therapist serving clients in Iowa, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges with compassion and understanding. My approach centers on helping people heal from trauma, manage grief, and build resilience through personalized, faith-informed counseling. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including veterans, young adults, and individuals facing significant life transitions. My therapeutic practice focuses on addressing issues like social anxiety, self-esteem, communication challenges, and personal growth. Drawing from a trauma-informed and holistic perspective, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and rediscover their inner strength. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship dynamics, or personal healing, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance. My practice welcomes individuals seeking a compassionate, conservative approach to mental health support, with a particular sensitivity to Christian perspectives and values. Together, we can work towards meaningful personal transformation and emotional well-being. I am a parent of 4 adult children. As a therapist, it is my honor to help my clients achieve their life goals and get to a calmer and more peaceful place. These past four years, I have completed thousands of live sessions with clients from all walks of life, careers, ages, financial status., and backgrounds. You will find our sessions productive, respectful, non-judgmental, interactive, supportive, creative, and informative. My rule is to listen to understand not to reply. You will feel heard and understood.

My background is pretty extensive. I enjoy working with clients with trauma, health issues, career changes, anxiety, depression, anger management, couple's and communication issues, major life changes, and stress. I have worked with adolescents and adults from 21 to 90.

I consider the first session as a time to build a healthy therapeutic alliance with my clients. I ask questions to help understand what is happening in my client's life (lives). Listening to understand is vital. My focus is to assist my clients by understanding their situation dynamic. Our sessions, together, will be interactive and supportive.
