I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in education, and I’ve been practicing for 12 years. My experience spans a wide range of communities and needs, including individuals with developmental disabilities, people navigating substance use challenges, and clients from culturally diverse backgrounds.

My clinical foundation is rooted in behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use these approaches to help clients understand patterns, build new skills, and create meaningful change.

I like to begin by learning about each client’s hopes, dreams, and vision for their life. I believe that real transformation starts with discovering a sense of happiness and alignment within yourself—once that inner foundation is in place, everything else begins to come together.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.

My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


Hello everyone! I am Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry, a licensed psychotherapist in both Florida and New York. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and the families who support them.

I approach therapy with the understanding that children do not heal in isolation. With over 12 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years as an educator, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, educational insight, and genuine compassion to my work.

I have walked school hallways, partnered closely with parents, and supported families navigating real-life challenges. I understand the quieter struggles young people often carry—and I am deeply committed to helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My work also extends to adults navigating family and relationship challenges. I have experience helping individuals work through marital and partner conflict, parent-child concerns, strained relationships with adult children, and the unique challenges that can arise within blended families and stepparent/stepchild relationships. I help clients recognize unhealthy patterns, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and find more effective ways to navigate difficult family relationships.

Whether I am working with a child, teen, young adult, parent, or an adult experiencing relationship or family conflict, my goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can gain insight, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

Starting therapy often means saying things out loud for the first time. You don't have to have the words ready — that's part of the work.

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions, including the particular strain of rebuilding a life in a new country, holding a family across borders, or carrying a loss that happened somewhere else.

Much of my career has been spent with people on the worst day of their lives. I responded to the 1999 Vargas disaster in Venezuela, and worked with Project Liberty in New York after 9/11, training paramedics, firefighters, and highway police along the way. You do not have to protect me from what happened to you.

I trained first as a psychologist in Venezuela and completed my master's in mental health counseling in New York. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Connecticut, a National Certified Counselor, and EMDR-certified.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Not translated — I work in both.

If you're deciding whether to reach out, you don't need to be certain. You only need to be curious enough to start.
