About me

My name is John Henry, LMFT. I have worked with adolescents for twenty-eight years. My expertise is trauma focused therapy, attachment issues, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. This work has included parenting sessions and family sessions. I have conducted parenting workshops for parents of pre-school children through adolescents. A good part of my work with adolescents is around trauma, childhood abuse, and conflict with parents.

John is great. He's flexible in his approach. He doesn't stick to one or two modalities; he responds with what the situation at hand calls for.

He's very respectful of me, my experiences, and what I say about them. He asks questions about events so he can put together a timeline and understand what happened in what order. I never feel like he asks for details to decide how true it is. He believes what I say and we work from there.

He is also very responsive to change -- when I can identify what to ask for, of course. If I need him to shift approach or I have a problem with something he did, we talk about it. He doesn't get defensive. I strongly feel his goal really is to support me and help me -- because it comes through in his actions and it has from the beginning.

Like I said, John's a great guy. I feel lucky that we get to work together.

John has helped me a great deal over the past 2 years! It is so nice to know there is someone with not only the expertise but also the human side who can help you navigate life. John encourages me to pose questions and have deep reflection to understand situations with a broader perspective. I am grateful these sessions are available in a variety of platforms. Wish everyone had a “John” in their lives, truly the world would be a better place.

John exemplifies what it is to be a therapist. He is a mentor. He challenges you without making you uncomfortable, and many times without realizing it until later. He is supportive without judgment and provides fantastic insight.

Written on Dec 22, 2022 after therapy with John for 7 months on issues concerning relationship

John has seriously been one of the best people to have ever come into my partner and I's life. He is very attentive, engaging, and knowledgeable on what tools you need to overcome the challenges you are facing, how to tackle them both individually and as a couple. There was never a moment I thought he was taking sides or playing favorites; he always asked for both person's input and thoughts on a situation. We are sad to go, but feel like we have been given a new outlook on our relationship and ourselves with how much he has bestowed upon us in our time with him
