“I started working with Camilla Hendren during a time of personal transition, unhappiness, and uncertainty. Talking with her helped me gain clarity about my values and, by making me feel more accountable, helped me to achieve some of my goals. Camilla also helped me notice patterns in my thinking, relationships, and communication that I could change.
I worked with Camilla for several years and looked forward to every session; it was clear that she cared about me as a whole being. In reflecting back on our sessions, I am impressed by her uncanny sense of timing. She always was a supportive listener and allowed me to ramble and vent, but also knew precisely when to ask me to slow down to consider solutions, or more specific approaches or changes. She had the ability to perceive when I might be receptive to useful and applicable psychological concepts and provided them at those opportune moments. My work with Camilla was an invaluable experience in my personal growth.”

“When I started my therapy journey three years ago with Camilla, I had just completed residential treatment for a substance use disorder. I was navigating early addiction recovery, suffering from high levels of anxiety and depression, and going through a divorce. I was at a true low point in my life, and I immediately felt comforted by Camilla's warm and welcoming presence during our very first session.
She consistently showed empathy and compassion, while also lovingly challenging me to push forward when things felt too tough or uncomfortable. She is extremely knowledgeable about addiction and the recovery process and she helped me to develop essential coping skills to deal with social and generalized anxiety symptoms. She was truly a godsend, and I will be forever grateful for her guidance and support as I learned to feel my feelings and walk through life on life's terms.”

“I worked with Camilla Hendren over a period of several years, including the most intense period of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Her assistance in managing my anxiety, fear, and frustration was invaluable. Working with Camilla helped me reach acceptance with the many external factors that were beyond my control. In addition, she guided me towards positive actions to achieve growth and change. Camilla provided clear non-judgmental support as I struggled with work, relationships, compulsive behaviors, and creative endeavors. Camilla helped me greatly in understanding and managing my emotions, rather than having my
emotions manage me. I graduated from her care with stronger personal
relationships, improved control of compulsive behaviors, and enhanced self-awareness. I now have tools to enhance my inner life that I would never have discovered alone. ”

When I first started seeing Camilla, I felt overwhelmed and worthless. She helped me to process and work through things I thought I would be dealing with for the rest of my life. Now I'm more assertive, I stopped internalizing all negative feedback, and I actually like who I am. Thanks Camilla!

I started working with Camilla at the height of COVID and the height of my anxiety about, well, everything. Camilla's compassionate approach made me comfortable spilling out my tangential brain to her during every session - irrational fears, unhealthy guilt, people-pleasing tendencies, etc. She didn't feel like a therapist as much as a friend who truly understood me. Through working with Camilla, I had so many positive changes happen in my life. I came to her initially for anxiety attacks, but I got so much more out of our sessions: I learned to set boundaries and say "no" way more frequently; I started standing up for and speaking up for myself more often - leading to a promotion at work and a very large pay increase; I started approaching myself with more compassion and stopped feeling guilty about everything I didn't get to; I managed to control my anxiety during many difficult emotional situations including chronic illnesses in our family and my pregnancy; most importantly, I started sleeping better because my anxiety attacks went from chronic to situational and rarely. Camilla has been a critical part of my getting to where I am in my life right now - a happy, healthy, gainfully employed mom who knows that "no" isn't a dirty word.
