Henze & Associates: Counselling & Care

Ros and I established Henze and Associates Counselling and Care in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta. We saw a need for a legitimate psychological counselling service combined with a solid Christian foundation for those clients whose spirituality is an integral part of their healing journey. I am a registered psychologist, and the focus of my graduate training was on sex and relationship therapy. At Henze and Associates, we work with a diverse team of psychologists, counselors, and other mental health professionals out of two locations in Calgary while collaborating and referring to a larger team spread over Southern Alberta.

For over 20 years, we have been helping individuals, couples, families, and people of all genders, faiths, racial heritages, and sexual orientations find healing. Our areas of expertise are Couple Relationship/Marriage and Sexuality, Addiction, and Trauma. Still, we also work with people on issues ranging from PTSD to anxiety and mood disorders and everything in between.

In addition to providing therapy, I have coordinated a city-wide, volunteer-staffed organization helping people and couples from all walks of life address sexual trauma and overcome compulsive behaviors and chemical dependencies. I have written extensively and taught in churches, community organizations, business executive training, and have provided professional development training in the diagnosis and treatment of human sexuality disorders to Canadian counsellors and psychotherapists.

Because each client is unique, we offer a wide variety of therapies, including:

Person-centered therapy

Family systems therapy

Emotion-focused therapy

Emotion-focused therapy for couples with trauma

Internal family systems therapy

Cognitive-behavioural therapy

Psychoeducational training

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy

Trauma-focused addictions treatment

Sex therapy

We base our approach on whatever our client needs, and we have many different skills and techniques from which to choose. Some examples include:

Cognitive behavioral

Meditative

Mindful

Christian counselling and connection with God

High-level trauma therapy techniques

Sometimes a client needs nothing more than a conversation, to hear their words reflected and help with reinterpreting their issue or thought process.
