The Being Place, PLLC
Brenda Henning, MS, LPC
I named my practice The Being Place because that’s exactly what I want clients to feel when they’re with me: the freedom to let the guard down, take a breath, and be fully human in all the ways that matter. No masks. No pretenses. No pressure to be anything other than who you are in the moment.
It’s a space where you can sit, settle, say what’s on your mind, and trust that you won’t be judged.
And it’s also a space that honors something essential: who we are right now may not be who we’ll be in the next season of our lives. Growth and change are always in motion. And this motion quietly is shaping us across our entire lifespan.
The Being Place was inspired by the NPR show On Being and the three guiding questions Krista Tippett asks in her work:
- What does it mean to be human?
- How do we want to live?
- Who will we be to each other?
Those are big questions. They're beautiful to reflect on and incredibly hard to live out when we’re in the trenches of real life.
But here’s what I’ve learned: it’s the small wins, the quiet victories, the moments we get through that no one else sees. These are the things that build us. They strengthen our capacity to handle the unexpected, the overwhelming, and the life-altering.
At The Being Place, every step toward self-acceptance, clarity, and healing counts as a win. And together, those wins become resilience.

About Brenda Henning, MS, LPC, CEAP
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in communications, leadership development, and evidence-based mental health care. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in roles that required clarity, responsibility, and emotional intelligence. These are experiences that continue to shape how I show up in the therapy room.
My clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and CBT for Insomnia and Nightmares (CBT-I/CBT-N). I also have advanced training in mind-body medicine. I specialize in supporting adults navigating grief, loss, burnout, and major life transitions — especially those who are accustomed to being capable, composed, and dependable for others.
Clients often describe my style as calm, thoughtful, and structured without being rigid. I value depth, reflection, and practical tools, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with compassion and intention.
The Being Place was created as a space where people can pause, make sense of what they’re carrying, and move forward in ways that feel honest and sustainable.

What It's Like To Work Together
Many of the people I work with:
- Appear high-functioning but feel emotionally depleted
- Are navigating grief, loss, or major life transitions
- Feel disconnected from their sense of identity or purpose
- Struggle with anxiety, sleep disruption, or chronic stress
- Are successful on paper yet unsettled inside
Therapy here is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you listen more clearly to yourself — and respond with intention.
