Counselling & Coaching
Hendrike Isert Bender MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker
Hendrike is a registered Social Worker with 20+ years of therapeutic experience. She is a wife and mother of 4 children and has a passion for the complexity of life.
As a therapist she cares about the wellbeing of the whole family and therefore offers counselling and support to individuals of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults and seniors.
Hendrike has a special interest in maternal mental health and training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She hopes to support, guide and skillfully find the appropriate therapeutic approach to address the emotional challenges of parenthood. She is deeply aware that not every woman who wants to become a mother will do so with ease. This stage in life can hold much pain and loss. Hendrike wants to hold space for families experiencing infertility, pregnancy or infant loss.
As a client centered therapist she uses a variety of evidence based frameworks and will work with finding the best approach for each client. Hendrike offers cognitive, behavioural, spiritual and mindfulness strategies for many of the presenting concerns.
She offers individual and couples therapy as well as psycho-educational and therapeutic groups.
Hendrike has a Masters in Social Work and is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
