Our Story
More than a counseling practice — a place built for healing.
Henderson Counseling Services was founded by Kirk Henderson, LPC-MHSP, with a clear vision: to build a practice where adults could access high-quality, compassionate mental health care in an environment that feels nothing like a waiting room.
A place where healing actually happens.
At Henderson Counseling Services, we believe that every person carries the capacity for healing and growth. Our team of licensed therapists provides individualized, compassionate care — and our TDMHSAS licensure allows us to offer court-recognized DUI education and substance use assessments alongside our clinical work.
Located in Franklin, Tennessee, with telehealth available, we make it easy to get the support you need — on your terms, at your pace.
Our Mission
Our team specializes in some of the most complex and underserved areas of mental health — including trauma, narcissistic abuse recovery, and substance use — because we believe that the people who need help the most deserve therapists who truly specialize in what they’re going through.
Our TDMHSAS licensure also allows us to provide DUI education and substance use assessments that are recognized by Tennessee courts and state agencies — making us a complete resource for adults navigating both legal and personal challenges.
“Our mission is to provide every client with a safe, affirming space where healing is possible — through expert clinical care, genuine human connection, and unwavering belief in each person’s capacity to grow.”
— Kirk Henderson, LPC-MHSP, Founder & Clinical Director
