What I Offer
Transform Your Life with Sound Mind Therapy
Individual Counseling
As a licensed counselor I am here to help you navigate through life's challenges with personalized therapy options, including individual counseling services designed to meet your specific needs. We incorporate effective techniques such as DBT, CBT, IFS, and others to support you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues, I am dedicated to providing the counseling you need.
Trauma Processing
Experiencing trauma can leave lasting negative effects on the brain and body. Through effective therapy methods like Accelerated Resolution Therapy, individuals can process their trauma in a safe environment, enabling them to overcome the overwhelming effects of their experiences and no longer feel stuck in the past. This therapeutic approach untangles the impact of past events on the body, emotions, and beliefs, creating space for relief, clarity, and self-compassion.
Meet Your Therapist
Meet Marlena Henderson, LPC
You deserve more than just someone to talk to — you deserve a therapist who helps you actually get better. I'm Marlena, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Phoenix, AZ, and I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach blends CBT, IFS, EFT, and DBT with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — a research-backed technique that helps the brain gently reprocess painful memories, often in just a few sessions, without requiring you to relive them in detail. I'm currently accepting new clients and would love to support you.
I believe healing should feel attainable, not overwhelming. Every session is tailored to you — your history, your pace, and your goals. I bring warmth, directness, and evidence-based tools to each session so you leave with more than just insight. You leave with real, lasting change.

During my daughter's first session, Marlena was super kind and welcoming and so easy to talk too! She was able to reach my daughter in a deep and meaningful way! She had been through many traumatic things that would have her deep in tears at the mere thought. After literally 1 session (yes I said it, no nobody is paying me) 1 session, my daughter is now able to openly talk about these memories without breaking down. I am super thankful for what she did for my daughter and would definitely recommend.
