What We Do

Mensink Counseling & Consulting specializes in building secure, healthy relationships, improving emotional regulation and stress management, enhancing communication, and promoting the development of skills to deal with life’s stressors.

By acknowledging historical and early childhood trauma, and the connection between one’s past and present, we support you in developing greater meaning, connectedness, and strategies for navigating relationships and challenges in life.
