Getting to know Sherene Henry
How this profile works: When you book here, you'll be matched with a therapist on my clinical team who works under my direct supervision. I'm no longer taking new clients myself, so this is how you get my approach and my standard of care, with a dedicated therapist who gives you their full attention, and often an opening within the week.
You've gotten very good at getting through it. You show up, handle what's in front of you, and keep moving. But your mind races when it should be resting. Your shoulders tense before you even know why. Something from years ago still shows up in how you react today. You may not call it anxiety or trauma. You just know you're tired of feeling this way.
I founded Love Light Mental Health Counseling Services because I believe real healing has to include the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. My specialized training is in anxiety, trauma, and mindfulness, and that's the foundation every case I supervise is built on. Your therapist won't stop at helping you cope. They'll help you understand what's driving the anxiety, how past experiences still live in your body, and how to respond differently, using CBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and trauma-informed care.
My team is warm, attentive, and trained in our holistic approach. We match you with someone who fits your needs, and I stay involved behind the scenes.
As an African American therapist of Jamaican heritage, I know how culture, family, and identity shape how we cope and what we believe we're allowed to need. You won't have to explain why it's complicated.
Imagine your mind quieting down at night. Your body no longer braced for the next thing. The past losing its grip on your present. Feeling like yourself again.
We offer online therapy throughout New York and New Jersey, with appointments that include weekends. You've waited long enough to put yourself first. Book a time now, and you can be talking with someone this week.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don't need the right words to start. You can come in anxious, exhausted, unsure, or carrying things you've never said out loud. Nothing you bring will be too much, and nothing will be met with judgment.
You'll have one dedicated therapist who gets to know you and your story. Behind them is my experience: I review cases regularly, so you get the focus of a therapist who's fully present with you and the oversight of a practice built on anxiety and trauma care.
The work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in safety. We pay attention to your thoughts and emotions, and also to your body, because anxiety and trauma don't live only in the mind. If difficult experiences are part of your story, your therapist will move at a pace that feels safe for you. Your sense of stability always comes first.
Your strengths matter here too. You've already made it through a lot. That resilience is something your therapist will help you see and build on.
Your culture, family, faith, and identity are welcome. They shape how you experience the world, and they belong in the conversation.
Sessions are online, so you can meet from anywhere you feel private and comfortable, without adding a commute to an already full day.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Here's what to expect, so there are no surprises.
Getting matched When you book, you'll be connected with a therapist on my clinical team who works under my supervision and is trained in our holistic, trauma-informed approach.
Your first session Your therapist will get to know you: what's bringing you in, what's been weighing on you, how it's affecting your daily life, and what you want to feel different. You share at your own pace.
Setting goals together You and your therapist will decide where to start. That might be calming constant worry, easing panic or stress in your body, healing from a difficult experience, or rebuilding your confidence.
Getting to the root You'll explore what keeps the cycle going: the thoughts that feed anxiety, the ways your body holds stress, and the past experiences that shaped how you learned to cope.
Building tools for real life Alongside insight, you'll practice skills you can use right away, like grounding when anxiety rises, mindfulness to quiet an overactive mind, and new ways to respond to the thoughts and triggers that keep you stuck.
Tracking your progress Your therapist will check in with you regularly about what's helping and what needs to change, and I review your care along the way. As you grow, the work grows with you.
Change often starts small: a night of real sleep, a moment of calm where there used to be panic, a reaction you catch before it takes over. Those moments add up.
