Getting to know Amani Henderson

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been working in the field of counseling psychology since 2018. I have experience in both substance use treatment and psychotherapy, and worked with individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and deeply personal process. I strive to create a space that feels authentic, compassionate, and supportive—while also gently challenging clients when appropriate. I value walking alongside my clients as they explore patterns, heal from past experiences, and build insight into themselves.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I understand that while our past experiences shape us, they do not define or limit our future. I view both positive and difficult life experiences as meaningful building blocks that can be used to foster growth, resilience, and self-understanding. With the right tools, empathic support, and personal commitment, I believe meaningful change is possible. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, DBT and acceptance and commitment therapy

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I am open-minded, curious, and committed to continual learning. I explore what works best for each individual client and tailors her approach to meet clients where they are, honoring their unique strengths, values, and goals. You can reach out to me
