Welcome to Mending Hearts: A Place for Growth, Healing, and Laughter
Welcome to the Mending Hearts blog, a space dedicated to exploring the journey of personal growth, relationship building, and emotional healing. I am Dr. Sheena Horsford, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the beautiful state of Virginia, and I am thrilled to share this platform with you.
At Mending Hearts, we believe in the power of connection and understanding. As the founder and a passionate therapist, I bring over 15 years of experience to our sessions, specializing in couples therapy and healing trauma within adult families. My journey in this field has been both enriching and enlightening, having completed my Master’s and Doctorate at Michigan State University in Human Development.
My approach to therapy is unique and multifaceted. I like to think of myself as a ‘jack of all trades’ therapist, but my heart truly lies in working with couples and families. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping numerous couples restore communication and rekindle the bond that seemed lost. Witnessing couples manage feelings of hopelessness and distance and emerge stronger is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
My therapeutic style is deeply rooted in an emotion-focused perspective. I firmly believe that understanding and managing our emotions is key to personal growth and healthy relationships. It’s not just about avoiding negative emotions but learning to embrace and navigate through them with grace and understanding.
In our sessions at Mending Hearts, you will find a safe and empathetic environment. My goal is for you to feel truly understood. Together, we will explore better ways to communicate, not just with others but with ourselves too. And while the work we do is serious and impactful, I firmly believe in the healing power of laughter. So yes, expect to share some laughs along the way!
This blog will be an extension of our therapy space. Here, we will delve into various topics related to mental health, relationship dynamics, self-improvement, and much more. It’s a place for you to gain insights, find resources, and perhaps discover new perspectives.
I invite you to join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery. Whether you’re dealing with personal challenges, relationship issues, or just looking for ways to improve your emotional well-being, Mending Hearts is here to support and guide you.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog. Stay tuned for regular updates, and remember, at Mending Hearts, you’re not just another client; you’re a valued part of a community that cherishes growth, healing, and yes, a good laugh!
