Hello! I'm Rasheeda Henry
Registered Psychotherapist (SSW, B.a. SC, MACP)Where empowerment meets intimacy, and confidence becomes contagious.
Hello there!
I’m Rasheeda Henry, and my pronouns are She/Her/Hers. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, I’m all about creating a safe and open space for you to explore your challenges and find your path to empowerment.
A Bit About Me: I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Family and Community Social Services from the University of Guelph-Humber and went on to complete my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Yorkville University. Before my undergrad, I also completed my Social Service worker diploma. I’m registered with the CRPO and the CCPA.
With over a decade of experience in the field, I’ve worked with individuals from various walks of life, including youth, women, and men who’ve experienced trauma. I approach my work from a trauma-informed perspective and have provided support through counseling and as a support staff. But learning never stops, and I’ve continued to pursue various trainings to evolve and adapt to the changing world.
My Approach: I work with individuals, couples, and those in polyamorous relationships. Initially, I focused on addressing topics like anxiety, depression, relationships, and dating. However, I’ve expanded to specializing in helping clients explore and discover their own unique sources of pleasure. It’s fascinating to consider how as children, we often found joy and fulfillment in the simplest things: observing nature, playing, and exploring the world. Yet, over time, external influences start to shape our perceptions of pleasure and dictate what is considered acceptable or desirable. My goal is to guide you in rediscovering that part of yourself that seeks pleasure, whether it’s through relationships, sexuality, self-expression, hobbies, or any other aspect of your life. My aim is to help you feel more authentically yourself.
Work with Couples: In my work with couples, I specialize in sex-related issues but also offer support for conflict resolution and emotional well-being. I noticed a need for open discussions around sex without shame, which led me to explore sex therapy. In my sessions, nothing is off-limits—I aim to create a judgment-free zone where you can discuss any topic.
Special Focus: My particular passion lies in supporting those who grapple with feelings of inadequacy or distress around performance, even when medical evaluations show no issues. I specialize in addressing anxiety and sexual disparities by providing tools and education to empower you.
Additional Areas of Expertise: I also work extensively with clients dealing with sexual trauma, self-esteem and anxiety, sexual difficulties, improving sexual relationships, low libido, erectile dysfunction, education and understanding your body, and difficulty achieving orgasm.
I hope this bio has given you a glimpse of what I do and how I can support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to explore how I can support you.
