Aspen Therapy is about helping you build connection, nurture relationships, and bloom into your best self.
Savannah Henderson, LPCC
INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES PSYCHOTHERAPIST / OWNER OF ASPEN THERAPYMy approach to therapy is rooted in a firm belief that you are the expert on yourself. I won’t pretend to know what is best for you, but I will always believe that you are capable of making changes and achieving goals that help you thrive. I integrate many different ‘types’ of therapy to find the best fit for you, heavily influenced by a Humanistic approach that values your lived experiences and utilizes your strengths to problem-solve. I weave humor, authenticity, and empathy into my work. Read more about what you can expect from me as a therapist!
Therapy is for everyone and for anything.
-
We will work together to set therapy goals that promote wellness and balance. I specialize in supporting individuals looking to manage anxiety and depression, improve work-life balance, communicate better and set boundaries, explore attachment wounds, and/or explore sexual identity, wellness, and empowerment.
-
I work with partners to help better understand each other. Couples therapy can explore communication, conflict, healing from infidelity, sex and intimacy, handling stress, parenting, and more. We will work to uncover emotional patterns and find new ways of connection and communication. All types of partnerships are welcome.
-
Sexual wellness is part of your mental health. In both individual and couples therapy, I provide support in navigating sexual health concerns, improving intimacy and sex with your partner(s), navigating communication about sex, normalizing sex and desire, and other topics that lead to sexual empowerment.
-
As a queer therapist, I recognize the value and sense of belonging that comes from a therapist that gets it. Whether you are looking to address sexual and gender identity or not, I recognize how queer identity shapes lived experiences and impacts relationships. I won’t put you in a heteronormative box.
SUPPORT FOR:
-
Do you have racing thoughts, excessive worry, restlessness, trouble concentrating, or often feel overwhelmed? You are not alone. Most people experience anxiety from time to time, but I provide support in helping you manage chronic anxiety through development of coping skills and exploration of root causes.
-
Therapy can help if you find yourself struggling to feel motivated, spacing out or unable to focus, withdrawing from friends or activities, feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, or generally feeling stuck in a rut. I support you by building you coping skills, providing a validating space to process, and identifying changes that can increase mood.
-
Work-life balance isn’t just about the number of hours you work a day, although it is important to keep that in check. I also support your work-life balance by helping you set boundaries with yourself about work, developing assertive communication in the workplace, or building up the non-work parts of your life. Many of my clients are also in the helping professions and I have a special interest in helping support teachers and fellow therapists manage the challenges of their careers.
-
Whether you are seeking couples or individual therapy, I can help you improve your relationships with others. Whether its an intimate partner or a parent, siblings, child, or friend, relationships can be complex and hard to navigate. Luckily you don’t have to do it alone!
-
Intimacy concerns can include struggling to initiate sex, wanting to increase communication with your partner about sexual needs/desires, the impact of mental health on libido and desire, sexual functioning, sex while trying to conceive, and many other areas. I love supporting individuals and couples in rediscovering the fun and playfulness of sex and feeling empowered sexually and emotionally.
-
There are many reasons we might struggle to set boundaries: norms in our family growing up around direct communication, our socialized gender, cultural identities, and fear of rejection. I believe that when done right, boundaries allow both you and others to find understanding and respect.
-
Sometimes our emotions get the best of us, but if you notice that you have difficulty managing emotions often, you might need extra support. If you feel emotionally flooded, dysregulated, quick to anger or become depressed, your nervous system might be on overdrive. There are many causes of emotional dysregulation—learned patterns, trauma responses, neurodivergence, or you are reacting to an equally overwhelming environment. I can help support by providing coping skills but more importantly, providing a space where you learn to accept and love your emotional side. After all, all of our emotions are important messages.
-
Attachment wounds are disruptions to our sense of security within a relationship. Sometimes these happen in childhood, such as being separated from a parent. Attachment wounds or injuries can happen within any relationship though, when we feel a sense of betrayal or abandonment from someone we trusted. We carry these wounds into current relationships by struggling to trust others, being unable to commit fully to a partner, or feeling emotionally detached or too attached to a partner. I can support you in understanding and healing your attachment wounds and finding secure connection with your current loved ones.
-
Let’s be real, the world is a lot to handle. We’ve been in an extended state of “unprecedented times” amid political turmoil, climate change, and a whole lot of other crap (pardon my language). If you need a place to process and find ways to manage stress and worry, I got you. With me you can be 100% honest, curse words included.
Let’s work together.
