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.

My approach blends psychodynamic therapy — exploring how our past shapes who we are — with cognitive behavioral techniques that help you shift patterns and take back control of your thoughts and choices. I meet clients where they are, offering a space of respect, understanding, and real conversation.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.
