George Henegar, MSW, Post-Master’s Fellow

Many people come to therapy not because they are broken, but because something in their life no longer reflects who they are or who they hope to become. They feel unmoored or conflicted, caught between the life they’re living and the life they sense is possible. I see therapy as a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and regain the clarity needed to move toward a life that feels coherent, meaningful, and genuinely your own.

My work is not to determine the direction or meaning of your life, but to create a steady, supportive space where you can clarify those things for yourself. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that respects your existing strengths, your desire to understand yourself more deeply, and your natural capacity for choice and discernment. My role is to help you build the clarity and internal footing needed to move through life with a more confident sense of direction. I don’t offer answers; I help you uncover your own.

Clinically, I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-responsive frameworks. My style is grounded and thoughtful, balancing practical strategies with deeper reflection. I work with adults and with adolescents, especially those navigating school pressures, identity development, emotional regulation, and the complex work of figuring out who they are becoming.
