Gwendolyn helped me for over a year to get through a rough patch in my life. She taught me the Internal Family Systems method of therapy and taught me to send love to all my parts. She played an important role in how I'm doing today and all I've been able to achieve.

Written on Aug 27, 2023 after therapy with Gwendolyn for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and anger management
The absolute best therapist I’ve ever had and I had a long-term therapist prior to Gwen for 10 years. Gwen is extremely compassionate, she is never condescending nor does she ever display any form of judgment. Not only does she actively listen, she’s able to help coach me through important decisions and behaviors. I’m so thankful to have found Gwen and to have her on my team!

Written on Mar 22, 2023 after therapy with Gwendolyn for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and grief
I felt myself click with Gwendolyn right off the bat. I am someone who hates to cry, yet I was sobbing, within just a few moments of meeting with her. She never made me feel anything except, “worthy,” of having the feelings I needed to have at that very moment.
She is so warm, so caring and overall she is such a genuine human being. I feel like I cannot wait for my appointments each week, because I adore feeling heard, and validated. I also know, that with her, I have someone who will be honest with me as well.
She is the best, and I would recommend her any day, to anyone!

Gwen is a true God send. I feel that she hears what I am saying, unlike other styles of therapy I’ve had. She is teaching me tools so that I can better understand and manage my feelings. Each week is a blessing. M

Ms Henry has been and continues to be a source of comfort and a voice of reason. She’s able to see what I’m not saying and draw me out so I can deal with whatever issue is going on. I’ve really appreciated her assistance, advice, and guidance as I’ve gone through various life changes.

I have worked with Miss Gwen for almost 5 months now. She has helped me through a lot. She is honest, a very good listener, very respectful, and very understanding. She works at my pace and doesn't pressure me to do things. I've learned things that actually help me. I love working with her and will continue to. :)

Good therapist and listens well to the client.
Written on Dec 27, 2021 after therapy with Gwendolyn for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, anger management, and coping with life changes
When I decided that I needed to focus on my mental health, I knew that I needed a therapist with a lot of experience considering all of the issues that I needed to unpack. Along with someone who understands my spiritual needs. Gwendolyn pushes me to do the work, while listening attentively during our sessions. I am able to focus on moving forward with skills and positive coping mechanisms while addressing areas of my life where I need to “confront” certain circumstances, with the ability to move forward. Mental health is important to me and the purpose that I am to walk in accordingly, while accepting my own accountability. I believe less than 5% of this earthly population is able to recognize this. And for that I appreciate my sessions with Gwendolyn, and as a Black woman, I don’t feel stigmatized at all that I choose to love myself and evolve!!!
