Meet our Counselors
Laura Doyle, M.S., LPC, NCC
My greatest joy as a counselor is watching my clients grow — seeing them move from feeling stuck to stepping forward with clarity and confidence. I work hard to create a space that feels both safe and motivating, where you feel supported while also being gently challenged to reach your goals.
My counseling style is structured, collaborative, and forward-focused. I blend meaningful reflection with practical action steps you can apply between sessions—because real growth happens in everyday life, not just in the counseling room. My goal is to help you achieve real, tangible progress that feels evident in your everyday life.
I specialize in working with high school students, college students, and adult women who are navigating some of life’s most meaningful—and sometimes overwhelming—transitions. Many of my clients are doing well on the surface but feel uncertain or unsettled when it comes to decisions about relationships, identity, future plans, or personal direction. They know they’re ready for something more and are looking for a thoughtful guide to help them get there. Our work together is practical and purposeful, with a focus on helping you move forward with clarity and confidence. Together, we focus on:
- Gaining clarity around academic, career, and life direction
- Building genuine self-confidence
- Navigating friendships, dating, and relationships in healthy, intentional ways
- Developing stronger social skills
- Making decisions that align with your values and sense of purpose
I also have a deep passion for supporting married women who want to cultivate more connected, fulfilling, and joy-filled marriages.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in private practice, college, and high school settings, which allows me to bring a well-rounded and adaptable perspective to my work. This background has shaped an approach that is both grounded and practical—focused on helping you navigate real-life decisions and relationships with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
For clients who desire it, I offer a Christian perspective as part of the counseling process — weaving faith into the journey of growth, healing, and decision-making in a way that feels meaningful and personal to you.
It is truly a privilege to walk alongside you in this season. Whether you're seeking clarity, confidence, or simply a fresh sense of direction, I'm so glad you're here, and I'd be honored to take this next step with you.
Alex Henderson, M.Ed., LPC, NCC
I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges, develop greater confidence, and discover their inner strengths. My counseling approach is warm, supportive, and personalized, with a focus on helping clients make meaningful and lasting changes.
I specialize in anxiety across the lifespan, women’s issues, and premarital counseling. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, helping them develop practical coping skills, emotional regulation strategies, and greater resilience. I also have a special interest in supporting women through infertility, life transitions, and other unique challenges that can impact emotional well-being.
For couples preparing for marriage, I am a Prepare/Enrich Certified Facilitator and provide premarital counseling designed to help couples strengthen communication, navigate conflict, explore shared values and expectations, and build a strong foundation for a healthy and lasting marriage.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I hold a Master’s degree in School Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. With more than 13 years of experience working with children and teens as a preschool teacher, elementary school teacher, and school counselor, I bring a unique understanding of child and adolescent development to my counseling practice.
Together, we’ll create personalized strategies and coping skills that fit your individual needs and goals. My goal is to provide a comfortable, confidential space where you feel supported as you work toward greater emotional well-being, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, navigating a significant life transition, working through infertility, or preparing for marriage, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you build a stronger foundation for your mental, emotional, and relational well-being.
