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 people navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strengths. My counseling style comes from a genuine desire to see my clients make positive, lasting changes in their lives. I'm here to support you as you take steps toward healing and growth.
I specialize in working with anxiety in kids, teens, and adults, and I also focus on parenting skills and supporting women through challenges like infertility and life transitions.
I am a licensed professional counselor and I hold a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a Master's in School Counseling. I've spent over 13 years working with children and teens in various roles, including preschool teacher, elementary school teacher, and school counselor.
Together, we'll create personalized strategies and coping skills that work for you. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and improve your overall well-being.
I know that seeking counseling can be a big step, and I'm dedicated to providing a comfortable and confidential space for you to join in the counseling process.
Whether you or your child are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or any other challenges, I am here to support you on the journey toward a happier and more fulfilling life. Together, we can work towards building a stronger foundation for your mental, emotional, and relational well-being.
