I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, PTSD, anger, and difficult childhoods/pasts. I'm a "trauma-informed therapist" meaning there's awareness placed on the complex impact of certain experiences, often resulting in chronic suffering and overwhelm.

I also do a lot of work with couples experiencing conflict and disconnection.

I'm Sheila Henry, LMFT and I have been practicing for over 25 years. I am passionate about helping you remove obstacles standing in your way so that you can lead the life you desire. I focus on depression, anxiety, and loneliness. My passion is to help single individuals overcome the barriers to building meaningful, healthy relationships. I believe that the mind and the body are connected so I use EFT or "tapping" on the meridian acupuncture points along with Western modalities. I am also certified in cognitive therapy, solution-oriented, hypnosis, and gestalt therapy.

I help people who are struggling in relationships. My personal experience with trauma led me to this work, and I strive to be a collaborative guide in helping people reclaim the truth of themselves and live in greater alignment with that truth. I specialize in working with clients who are recovering from familial or romantic relationships with people with narcissistic or borderline personalities. I am also interested in attachment styles, intergenerational trauma, and your everyday existential crises.

Finding the right therapist is important. I approach therapy in a warm and relational way, and believe confidentiality and non-judgmental responses are crucial to creating a safe and trusting space. I know it can be hard to open up and start the process, so I make sure my client's feel comfortable to talk about the hard things and share about themselves authentically. Many of the situations I help people with involve experiencing depression or anxiety, processing recent or past trauma, important life or identity transitions, adolescent struggles, relationship concerns, and wanting personal growth and healing.

Whoever you are, whether it be struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, all the way to trying to come to terms with a more persistent diagnosis, I cannot wait to meet you exactly where you are at. I invite you to reach out to me in this time, as hard as that may be. Because this truly is the hardest part. And know that if we are not a good fit, I can direct you to other therapists that can hopefully be exactly what you need.

I am currently only seeing clients I have worked with before as I will be starting a Sabbatical on May 1, 2024. If you have ever felt anxious, angry, depressed, lonely, unmotivated, or overwhelmed, you are not alone. Life can be stressful at times. We all need some guidance and support. My therapeutic style is dynamic, genuine, and —straightforward. I aim to help you learn practical solutions for growth and change by setting realistic goals, identifying unhealthy patterns, and understanding the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
