Nicolena Hensler Gordon

down to earth and realistic. I don't make promises or offer platitudes that we are going to fix everything. Therapy is hard work and as someone who specializes in trauma, I know you don't want to be here any longer than you have to. I tell clients I am not the fun therapist because people come to me after life has happened and they need to dig in.

Set up an action plan of how to make your version of different become reality. Past stuff needs to stay there so you are able to stay fully in the present. I provide education and explain the why of things so that the therapy is the most effective it can be. Clients deserve to know how the process is collaborative and meeting their definition of different.

A "blue collar" therapist. I am grounded, direct, and down to earth. I am compassionate but I don't do warm and fuzzy - I am actually quite bad at that! If you are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma and neurobiology, and can help you understand the difference between traumatic and traumatized, I would be glad to work together.
