I come to this profession with a drive to bring forth honesty, self-discovery, and self-compassion with each person I work with. At my core, I see therapy as a transformational process that helps people to become empowered and unburdened. Through a process of safely unearthing, re-wiring, and re-writing our lived experience, therapy can bring about a shift of perspective that can have a ripple effect of positive changes in someone's life. As your therapist, I use a psychodynamic, strengths based approach in our work together. I take this process and your time very seriously, as it can be a life changing investment in yourself.

Gretchen Hentsch-Cowles works with all areas of individual and relationship challenges; the breakdown of personal and professional inter-relational dynamics; freezing athletic and executive syndrome; and expansion of self-worth.

Each family member is considered to play a role in the emotional, behavioral and relational patterns with the family system. Gretchen’s approach allows for every member of the family to make changes and heal.

The ideal client has experienced trauma, feels lost and is seeking support to reclaim their life, experiences and sense of self.

Too many of us live each day with a lack of contentment, a nagging sense of stress and disconnection, but this does not have to become the norm for you. If you are ready to take the leap and desire a holistic approach to change, I can help you to cultivate the satisfying life you desire. While I enjoy working with a variety of individuals, I specialize in helping adults suffering from anxiety and relational dissatisfaction to find peace. Above all I provide an environment where you will feel safe and seen, so you can process your own unique pain and ultimately find healing.

I hope to partner with you! I will offer clinical expertise in perinatal issues, trauma, and attachment. I lean into my own lived perinatal experiences within the client-therapist dynamic. What I’ve found matters most is finding someone to walk alongside you. We are wired for connection, and despite what the movies portray the fertility, pregnancy and/or postpartum experience to look like, it can be a time where you feel cut off from others and yourself in unexpected ways. Previous pregnancy loss and miscarriage can also impact an experience we’ve longed for.

I am here to help those who are struggling to enjoy life, whether that is due to depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational distress, or life adjustments. Together we can discover the changes that will bring you peace, strength, and healing. It is important to me that you feel safe and understood. My goal is to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped the way you think and feel and how you relate to others. This insight can be used to challenge false beliefs you have created about yourself and the world. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can learn to be secure within ourselves.

Improving quality of life one step at a time.

Daytime availability for new clients - Every situation is unique and requires a personalized approach. I believe there are no free passes to skip out on the struggle that comes with being human. Sometimes stress, betrayal, or overwhelm can knock us off balance and it's hard to find solid ground.

I believe my clients have the pieces they need to figure out their problems - I'll help you sort through and put together the roadmap for moving forward.

Feeling stuck? Frustrated? Like a burden? Struggling to stay focused? You don't have to do this alone! I see individuals 18+ in their search for balance with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, adjustment disorders (starting college, to getting out of prison, to retirement), anger, and much more. A large focus of my experience has been around those in jobs/situations with stigma that is high around mental health, and high stress (military/ veterans, first responders, flight crews, frontline medical personnel). Let's break the stigma that asking for help is weakness!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating the challenges of ADHD, or coping with the impact of trauma? Perhaps you're experiencing significant life transitions, or you identify as highly sensitive or the "black sheep" of your family. Whatever your journey, I am here to offer a compassionate and understanding space for your healing and growth.

I have gradually centered my work around people dealing with trauma, addiction, attachment struggles and OCD because I identify with the experience and have experienced healing myself. Complex trauma, attachment difficulties, addiction and OCD often cause chronic emotional disregulation. The attention grabbing power of the past or the future remove connection with the present and the people in it. Additionally, persistent negative beliefs about oneself, God or others make progress feel too hard or a fleeting and disappointing experience. Helping people find freedom and start living is the passion that fuels my work.

Are you making decisions that don't align with your needs and goals? Are you struggling with shame and feeling like you aren't enough? Do you feel like you are ruminating on the same choices and mistakes and struggling to connect to your identity and your feelings? I would be honored to help walk this path with you to identify and meet your own needs, increase your healthy coping skills and help unravel the unhealthy thinking patterns effecting your regulation and capacity to connect with self and others.

Wondering how things reached this low point in your relationship after finding out about your partner's infidelity? Do you question your self-esteem, have sleepless nights, and loss of appetite as you ruminate over the cheating? If you're trying to heal from the trauma of an affair, it might be the time to seek support from a therapist who can help. You may be wondering if the relationship can be repaired. We'll discuss and create a plan together which will help you to overcome the trauma and rebuild trust. Seeking couples therapy can be very beneficial, even if it feels daunting.

You didn't realize just how overwhelmed, broken, and alone you'd feel. Suffering through infertility and baby loss is beyond devastating. Traumatic experiences bring anxiety and shame up to the surface and impact our most meaningful relationships. Even 'happy' things like marriage and becoming a new mom becomes a complex mash-up of emotions. Despite your best efforts, the emotional roller coaster and quiet despair haven't gone away. You try so so hard. And yet, you are lost, filled with worry and guilt. You fear losing intimacy and connection with your partner and see the beginnings of drifting apart.

Is the path you are currently navigating not what you pictured? I will meet you where you are and help process a new pathway in this modern life that seems to be filled with stress and anxiety. We will develop a collaborative, trusting relationship and tailor the counseling process to your individual needs and values.

I firmly believe we are created to live life in the present with joy, peace and love. However, we are inundated with media, messages and influences that leave us stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We strive, push, and repeat unhealthy coping patterns. It is exhausting! Eventually, you find yourself lashing out at your loved ones, becoming judgmental, staying busy and disconnected, blaming others or being mad for reasons you can't remember. The patterns and ways of being can change, but it takes more than talk therapy.
