Hello! I'm Rasheeda Henry
PsychotherapistI love helping people build better relationships with themselves and others.
Hello there!
I’m Rasheeda Henry, and my pronouns are She/Her/Hers. As a sex and relationship therapist, 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 as a Qualifying member 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 both individuals and couples (and those in polyamorous relationships). I initially focused on collaborating with individuals, flexibly addressing topics like anxiety, depression, relationships, and dating. I specialize in helping clients discover meaningful connections—with themselves and others. Whether you’ve felt betrayed, let down, or seek to break generational patterns, I’m here to walk alongside you. My holistic approach considers all aspects of your life to provide a comprehensive understanding. Together, we’ll navigate your journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.
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.
