Bridget Bencke-Hiveley LLC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and have been practicing in the field since 2006. I thrive to provide a safe and supportive environment and aim to empower individuals to lead more balanced, fulfilling lives. I utilize a strength-based approach with a trauma informed lens. I use play therapy and parts work with my younger clients. I find other modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Interference based cognitive behavioral therapy (I-CBT) and somatic exercises to understand and support the nervous systems important parts of treatment. I will soon have my certification in somatic therapy for complex trauma for mind-body healing. I am also working to advance my skills in helping neurodivergent clients and working to complete my certification in Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDC). My specialties include assisting with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, ASD and OCD. I understand starting the healing process takes courage and self-respect, therefore I praise you for taking the first step to reach out to establish care. It is an honor to walk alongside you in this journey, and I look forward to working with you. Outside of the office, you would find me cheering on the sidelines of my children's sporting events, enjoying a cup of coffee, and listening to a good podcast. I also enjoy trying new restaurants and traveling with my husband, and soon to be an ISU fan as my son will be a freshman at the university this fall. I look forward to learning about you!
