Shaniqua Henry, LCSW

Hi, I'm Shaniqua Henry, originally from Brooklyn, NY, and I’m a fairly recent transplant to Los Angeles. I bring my creativity, grit, and solution-focused approaches to therapy, always meeting my clients where they are in the moment. With 15 years of experience working in social services, I am a licensed social worker in NYC. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of counseling diverse populations across a wide range of socioeconomic statuses.

I have worked with individuals and families dealing with depression and have provided brief interventions, including crisis management, in community and medical institutions, including residential settings. I specialize in working with teens and young adults and their families. I pride myself on building a strong rapport with my clients because I understand that therapy can be extremely difficult for anyone struggling with mental health issues. It’s essential for clients to feel comfortable to fully share and express themselves during their darkest moments.

My training and experiences include addressing violence against women, including sexual assault and domestic violence, as well as issues like depression, anxiety, life stressors, grief and loss, and experiential therapy (psychodrama). I received my M.S.W from Adelphi University and my B.A. in Theatre Studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
