Nate Hendrickson
LMHC, NCC
Life's challenges can impact every aspect of who we are—our relationships, careers, health, and sense of purpose. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where individuals can navigate those challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I bring more than 16 years of experience working in higher education, helping individuals navigate personal, academic, and professional transitions. Throughout my career, I have supported diverse populations facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, and performance-related challenges.
My professional experience also includes working with healthcare professionals who face the unique pressures of caregiving, burnout, compassion fatigue, and the demands of high-stress environments. In addition, I have served in a crisis intervention unit, providing immediate support to individuals experiencing acute mental health crises and helping them regain stability during some of life's most difficult moments.
To further expand my clinical practice, I am currently enrolled in an Advanced Certification in Animal-Assisted Therapy, where I am receiving specialized training in incorporating farm animals into the therapeutic process. This advanced training reflects my commitment to integrating evidence-informed, experiential approaches that foster healing, emotional growth, and meaningful human-animal connections. My vision is to create opportunities for individuals to experience the unique therapeutic benefits that horses, cows, and other farm animals can provide in a supportive and restorative environment.
A significant focus of my research and clinical interest centers on athletes recovering from injury. As a former athlete, I understand how injuries can affect not only physical performance but also identity, confidence, and overall well-being. I am passionate about helping athletes navigate recovery, manage the emotional impact of injury, and reconnect with their strengths both on and off the field.
I believe that counseling is not simply about overcoming obstacles—it's about discovering new possibilities for growth. Whether you are navigating a personal crisis, coping with stress, recovering from an injury, facing professional burnout, or seeking greater balance in your life, I am committed to helping you develop the tools and confidence needed to move forward.
Together, we can create a path toward healing, resilience, and lasting change.
