More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 26 State: Michigan

Hello, my name is Gwendolyn Henry (you can call me Gwen). I am a Licensed Therapist and Life Coach with over 26 years of experience. I have worked with victims of sexual abuse, adults suffering with Depression, Anxieties and Grief in many forms. The last 10 years of my career I worked with Veterans who were traumatized from military involvement.

My style of treatments that have proven successful over the years are: active listening, sensitivity to your concerns/trauma, and encouragement, with a non-judgmental approach to your life situations. Establishing a trusting relationship is extremely important in this journey; it is a key to healing, learning, and prosperity. Together we create a treatment plan and together it is adjusted and reevaluated for your success. We travel this path together.

My Specialties are:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Internal Family Systems

Grief Therapy

Anxiety Disorder (utilizing breath work)

Depressive Disorder

Guided Meditation

Art Therapy

I am so glad you have decided to take this next step to achieve a happier/self-directed life. Together we will achieve goals that are established for a new beginning. I count it an honored to work with you. Thank you for the opportunity.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The absolute best therapist I’ve ever had and I had a long-term therapist prior to Gwen for 10 years. Gwen is extremely compassionate, she is never condescending nor does she ever display any form of judgment. Not only does she actively listen, she’s able to help coach me through important decisions and behaviors. I’m so thankful to have found Gwen and to have her on my team!

Mar 22, 2023

Overall

I felt myself click with Gwendolyn right off the bat. I am someone who hates to cry, yet I was sobbing, within just a few moments of meeting with her. She never made me feel anything except, “worthy,” of having the feelings I needed to have at that very moment. She is so warm, so caring and overall she is such a genuine human being. I feel like I cannot wait for my appointments each week, because I adore feeling heard, and validated. I also know, that with her, I have someone who will be honest with me as well. She is the best, and I would recommend her any day, to anyone!

Good therapist and listens well to the client.

M.A.·Dec 27, 2021

Overall

When I decided that I needed to focus on my mental health, I knew that I needed a therapist with a lot of experience considering all of the issues that I needed to unpack. Along with someone who understands my spiritual needs. Gwendolyn pushes me to do the work, while listening attentively during our sessions. I am able to focus on moving forward with skills and positive coping mechanisms while addressing areas of my life where I need to “confront” certain circumstances, with the ability to move forward. Mental health is important to me and the purpose that I am to walk in accordingly, while accepting my own accountability. I believe less than 5% of this earthly population is able to recognize this. And for that I appreciate my sessions with Gwendolyn, and as a Black woman, I don’t feel stigmatized at all that I choose to love myself and evolve!!!
