Therapists in Roanoke City County, VA

Welcome! I'm Chanelle Henderson, a licensed professional counselor specializing in compassionate support for all those along life's journey. When you step into my office, I see that you are letting me into sacred ground. ​ As a counselor, my role is to provide a place so you can be brave enough to heal and grow. I will support you with cultural humility and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices so you can strengthen a deeper relationship with yourself and those closest to you. I specialize in working with those affected by traumatic experiences such as the immigration process, childhood abuse, and perinatal recovery.

Feeling stuck in life or relationship? As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have completed doctoral level coursework and currently hold dual Masters’ Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Complex Trauma, and PTSD that negatively impacts personal and occupational life, family, and relationship. For the last ten years, I have built a strong reputation in the community for my ability to make meaningful and transformative connections with others.

My experience working with at-risk populations has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact trauma has on an individual. I support and work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Clients can expect to enter an accepting, welcoming environment so we can work together through life’s obstacles from the past and help you find peace in the present. I believe that empowerment is one of the strongest tools a client can have so I help facilitate that by holding client-led sessions where I am able to support your experience and help you voice your narrative about it.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor who specializes in working with women. I provide a safe and empowering space for women to explore their unique experiences, challenges, and strengths. With a deep understanding of the complex factors that shape women's lives, I am committed to helping them navigate through various life stages and foster personal growth.

(ONLY ACCEPTING AETNA, MEDICAID, AND SELF-PAY CLIENTS AT THIS TIME) Life can be filled with pain, loss, confusion, and fear. I understand counseling as a process that honors these challenges and fosters hope. I utilize a relational, holistic, and strengths-based approach to help individuals cope with hardships, heal from trauma, and see their worth. I am passionate about women’s issues and working with people from historically marginalized groups. My work also focuses on perinatal mental health, where I am certified (PMH-C) to provide support to individuals from pregnancy to parenthood.

Immediate openings for both therapy and neurofeedback! We are a trauma-focused small group of therapists who are ready to do the deeper work in therapy to clean out what gets in your way of having an easier life. Our philosophy is to find the root cause of the problem and work on that instead of staying on the surface. We are ready to go deep. Are you feeling like something is wrong or holding you back, but you don’t know what it is? Are you aware of your past traumas and are ready to work on them? You might be surprised how much trauma is responsible for how we feel about ourselves and how we live our lives.

Life can be heartbreakingly difficult, and progress is often nonlinear – however, I am here to walk with you on your path to healing. I believe that everyone is capable of change and that change happens through the collaboration between client and counselor. I am honored to be a part of your journey. Often we experience a disconnect between our mind and our bodies. I use mindfulness and somatic techniques to help you reconnect and take steps to return to wholeness.

“Taking refuge” is a phrase in Buddhism that invites a world-weary self to find relief. From the confusion of life’s dramas and the pull to get swept up in them. Taking refuge requires building trustworthiness through a softening that happens over time in relationship. That is one reason psychotherapy is effective: The trustworthiness built by therapist and client allows for a depth of self to be known and expressed. Such encounters in turn build trustworthiness within oneself, for as our capacities enlarge, we enlarge. In finding solace within, we learn to live less fearfully, participate in relationship with authority and ease.

We are constantly bombarded with messages that tell us we are not good enough, we are the problem, or we're not doing enough. This leads many feeling anxious, defeated, worthless and burnt out. I'm here to remind and show you that you are worthy of care, you are worthy of feeling seen and heard, and you are worthy of feeling understood. During therapy, I facilitate a deeper understanding of self, allowing you to identify behavioral and decision-making patterns that contribute to dis-ease and dis-function in your life. You can't hit a target you don't have. Let's identify opportunities for positive change for wellbeing and freedom.

What if you could finally find some relief for the constant worry or sadness you feel? What if you could find a way toward the life you want? There might be a lot going on in your life right now. Maybe you're feeling uncertain of the future and just don't feel like yourself anymore. Maybe you want to work on increasing your self-worth and acceptance or maybe you're just struggling to figure out a way forward with so many challenging things happening in the world. You aren't alone in this.
