Tivoli Gardens is a place for deep healing rather than just symptom relief.
The goal is for therapy to change you as a person, not just your behavior.
Tivoli Hendricks is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in the state of Kentucky with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of San Diego (San Diego, CA) and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from George Fox University (Portland, OR). Comfortable working with adults of all ethnicities, religions, sexualities, relationship styles, and gender identities; LGBTQ+ affirming and poly-friendly therapist. Tivoli utilizes an existential-humanistic approach to counseling and incorporates mindfulness, narrative therapy, and IFS into her sessions. She believes total health involves addressing the physical, mental, and social needs of a person. Tivoli works with people struggling with various mental health issues and an assortment of life difficulties including:
Existential therapists believe that problems arise when we resist the givens of life. Change happens when we embrace the truth and take responsibility for our lives. I want to help you gain acceptance around yourself and the givens of life so that you can live more peacefully and authentically.
The narrative approach posits that we make sense of our lives by attributing meaning through stories. We often become stuck in stories that do not allow us to live to our full capacity, so we must rewrite our stories to help us move forward. I want to help you rewrite your stories of pain and brokenness so that you can have new stories that allow you to experience joy and wholeness.
Mindfulness centers us in the present moment. We learn to accept, let go, and not expend energy managing thoughts, feelings, and sensations that are beyond our control. Many of life’s difficulties come from resisting the realities of life; learning to accept reality for what it is helps relieve the experience of discomfort and stress from these difficulties.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach that acknowledges that all of our thought and behavior patterns have developed for a reason (to help us get through a certain life situation). With this approach, we compassionately examine ourselves and get curious about why we do the things we do so we can explore whether there are better ways of going about getting our needs met in our current life situation.
