Ingrid Serck-Hanssen

Hello - my name is Ingrid and I am exicted to introduce myself. I am a clinical therapist - engaged, curious, and nonjudgmental in my approach as I help my client unpack and understand feelings, disempowerment, and reactive patterns in their communication and relationships. Fostering connection, hope, and healing gives me purpose. I am engaged, curious, and nonjudgmental in my approach as I help my client unpack and understand feelings, disempowerment, and reactive patterns in their communication and relationships. My overall objective is to empower my clients to learn tools and techniques to self-manage and continue to hold themselves accountable. If you are looking to make a change in your life, reach out to me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good match. No question is off the table; this is your journey! I encourage you to start writing your new story with someone you trust and connect with. As Brené Brown said, "Connection is why we're here; it is what gives meaning and purpose in life." I have over a decade of experience in mental health. What brought me to this field was the discovery of my oldest son’s struggles with mental health and addiction problems. Following the shock and heartbreak of realizing that my then sixteen-year-old son was struggling with addiction, I started journaling to get some clarity and process my conflicting emotions. I authored the book, What Next? When Your Kid Steals Your Van, which describes a year of our family’s journey with mental health and addiction problems. Today, I am an avid advocate for positive change! I believe it is never too late to make a change, and that healing comes in many different forms. I am outspoken about my work toward destigmatizing mental health and addiction problems and stimulating new, open conversations about the need for prevention and pre-addiction services along with holistic approaches to healing.
