Therapist in Mukwonago, Wisconsin Dawn Henkhaus, Therapist

Dawn Henkhaus, LPC, helps adults find steadiness, meaning, and practical tools during seasons of emotional pain and transition. Practicing at LifeStance Health in Wisconsin, she provides individual therapy for adults and seniors who are navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and life changes that can feel overwhelming or isolating. She focuses on helping clients regain a sense of safety, rebuild routines, and translate treatment progress into sustainable, day-to-day coping strategies. Dawn collaborates with clients to reduce the risk of relapse or rehospitalization while strengthening skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and long-term stability during this critical transition period. In her clinical work, Dawn most often treats anxiety, depression, and alcohol or drug use issues, while also addressing additional concerns such as trauma, grief, and midlife or later-life transitions as needed. She works with adults across the lifespan, including older adults, and has experience supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. Her therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Christian Counseling when requested, integrating evidence-based care with compassion and respect for each client’s values. Outside of her clinical work, Dawn enjoys reading, hiking, traveling, spending time with family, and nurturing her faith.
