Hi, I’m Erica Henderson.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced complex trauma and are working to integrate this into their life’s story. I enjoy working with first responders, survivors of sexual or relational violence, and individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, parenthood, self harm, or unwanted behaviors.

My approach is down-to-earth and I strive to create a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their darkest places with curiosity and compassion. I use both my professional and lived experiences to cultivate understanding and nuance in our work together. My approach is attachment based, somatic, and creative - often integrating humor, expressive arts, movement, nature and animal assisted interventions to support healing.

I also work with concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, desire, sexual shame, and the ways trauma and attachment can impact our sexual lives. I’m an AASECT member currently completing specialized training in sex therapy and strive to provide an affirming, sex-positive, and kink-aware space where difficult or vulnerable conversations are welcome.

When I’m not seeing clients, I spend my time with my family and our ever growing collection of rescued creatures. I have a soft spot for animals, good stories, the outdoors, and anything that’s a little unconventional—which may explain my approach to therapy, too. I look forward to connecting with you, and if I’m not a fit for what you need, I am happy to help you find someone who is!
