“Dr. Michael Henry has helped me a lot, he helped me with one condition when everyone else I turned to couldn't. He is really good at what he does - I guess my best answer is that I'm so lucky that I picked him instead of somebody else. He really is the best I know. I can tell him anything and he doesn't judge, I trust him and that's big.”

Getting to know Dr. Michael Henry
Michael Henry, Ph.D. My education journey began at the University of California San Diego, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1979. Soon after, I attended and graduated from a horseshoeing school in Oklahoma City, then started my small business in San Diego, California, the “horse capital of the world.” The California Institute for Human Science in Encinitas, California, became my next alma mater in 2000, where I obtained my Master’s Degree and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. My fascination with human connection and bonding led to the publishing of my dissertation in 2005, “The Existential Constituents of Pair Bonding and Their Development Over the Lifespan,” or “how we learn to connect with each other.” I have licenses to practice therapy both in California and Colorado. Having a love for horses and knowing very well their many benefits to mankind, my practice began using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, an intervention not very well known but gaining popularity in recognition for its effectiveness, in addition to the traditional forms of interventions used in therapy.
My approach
My life experience as a psychologist has allowed me to help people with a wide variety of needs in a vast array of circumstances. I am privileged to have the opportunity to be of service to anyone who has a mental health need. I take traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (which focuses on changing thoughts and feelings) a step further by using schema therapy which identifies and challenges the beliefs or schema which produce the thoughts and feelings. Change becomes more permanent and automatic as a result. “…be transformed by the renewing of your mind….” Romans 12:2

Modalities: DBT Emotionally Focused Attachment Based Therapy CBT Gestalt Experiential Gottman Humanistic Motivational Interviewing Family Systems Narrative Psychodynamic.
