Our Therapeutic Approach

At HCPC, we believe in a holistic approach, recognizing that each individual is unique and faces a diverse range of challenges. Our therapist, Brenda Hinkle, is a highly experienced professional who utilizes a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques.

The psychodynamic approach allows for in-depth exploration of past experiences and their impact on present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By gaining insight into these underlying patterns, individuals can begin to understand and change self-defeating cycles.

CBT focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. This approach empowers clients with practical tools and strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Brenda's integrative approach allows her to tailor treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each client.
