Carli Hench (she/her)

I have experience working with adolescents through adults in navigating the various life changes. From choosing a college or a career, changing careers, starting a family, buying a house, caring for elderly parents and entering retirement. I'm here for every step of the way.

I understand the complexity that comes with gender and sexuality. I also understand that it is different for each and every person. I'm not here to tell you your experience, but to learn and understand who you are inside and out. I offer affirming therapy that allows us to explore and overcome the challenges with gaining support, expressing your true self and having healthy, validating relationships.

Being a woman in today's society offers a wide array of challenges and juggling the multiple roles is far from easy. We explore the various identities you take in each role and how assertive communication, conflict resolution, healthy boundaries, and recognition of needs can help you develop a better balance. Together, we will also develop strategies for increasing self worth and confidence.

I am a collaborative therapist. I focus on working with clients to identify their strengths, their challenges and the solutions that will best serve them.

I utilize mindfulness based approaches to identify the ways we can tap into internal and external resources to provide immediate relief. I also bring self compassion and compassion for others into our work.

I believe in couples counseling we can negotiate needs, find compromise and resolution to conflict, understand and listen more effectively and communicate intentionally.
