Ms. Hensley is the Clinical Director of Dominion Behavioral Healthcare. She has been an owner of DBH since shortly after it was founded in the 1990’s. Ms. Hensley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of Clinical Practice. She was a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers and also received a Board-Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. After enjoying many years of clinical practice, Ms. Hensley has retired from her patient clinical practice. She enjoys continuing her involvement in DBH as she supports the vision and mission of providing high quality and caring clinical services in a multi-disciplinary setting. Ms. Hensley will forever be grateful for her patient practice years. She appreciates her past patients who provided her with the opportunity to live her “dream job”, as it was an extremely gratifying experience to facilitate and participate in their growth and change.
As both a Clinician and Clinical Director, Ms. Hensley believes strongly that the therapeutic relationships between patient and provider form a foundation for positive change and a unique opportunity for patients to experience acceptance, honest validation and feedback, as well as a growth experience. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is “quite unique” as it is a relationship in which both parties are committed to and working on behalf of the welfare of “one”. Throughout her career she has maintained a strong belief that sustaining “hope” through all the challenges of life is the key to mental health and well-being.
