Henriette Backer

Originally from Denmark where I was an educator, I came to California as part of my own therapy and healing journey. After creating my own family, I decided to pursue a longtime dream of becoming a therapist. I've worked with a diverse range of people, ages and challenges in humanistic, person centered, emotion focused schools to psychodynamic community clinic, to substance use recovery center running groups to working with clients suffering from eating disorders and co-existing conditions. Working in this field continues to give me an in depth understanding of the human soul and heart that I strive to use to help others heal.

I offer a safe, warm and inquisitive space, in which we explore a range of feelings and potentially hidden emotions that may be affecting your life and showing up in a myriad of symptoms, and interpersonal challenges. I integrate a variety of modalities listed below with emphasis on emotions, attachment, internalized systems, somatic, and in depth work.

In our first meeting we will talk about what you hope to gain from therapy, and I'll work to support you and meet you where you are at. If you're not sure where to start, worried or unsure about therapy, or/and how to find the right fit, please reach out and I'll help you figure it out.
