About me

My name is Susan Henry, and I love helping people and seeing them grow. I am originally from the East Coast and resided in California before settling with my family in the Midwest. I received my Bachelor degree in Psychology from Rutgers College, and I received my Master in Social Work degree from Barry University School of Social Work. I am licensed in the state of Iowa as an Independent Level Social Worker. I have worked in the counseling field for over 25 years, with expertise working with issues related to Interpersonal Relations, Grief/Loss and Adjustment, PTSD/Trauma, and Anxiety/Depression. I provide a safe, sensitive, and non-judgemental space to explore your issues. Looking forward to being a part of your journey to better days ahead.

Susan makes you feel so comfortable in every session, it makes opening up that much easier. She is such a kind soul, who generally cares about her patients. I’ve had many therapists over the years and I can confidentially say that Susan is one of the best that I have had. I appreciate her so much

Susan is a compassionate listener who provides me with the support and affirmation I need while also asking me the tough questions I need to hear and respond to in order to grow. I look forward to speaking with her every session and whether or not I have something specific in mind to discuss, she always leaves me with new insights as well as confidence in myself and my ability to make good decisions about my life.

very caring and understanding, at this stage in my life it feels like no one listens to me and my opinions hold no weight, but susan hears me and makes me feel valid

Written on Nov 17, 2024 after therapy with Susan for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Susan has been so wonderful. I’m so grateful for the resources she has provided me with, her flexibility in scheduling, and that she checks up when it’s been a while because of how chaotic times can be. I’m so happy to have her as my therapist.

At this time, I've only had 3 sessions with Susan, but I am already experiencing a higher level of awareness about my own behavior and feelings. I feel like she listens and reflects very well, but does not get defensive if her reflection doesn't seem exactly right to me. She is comfortable with ambiguity and is willing to move away from or in a different direction if that seems appropriate. She has already helped me focus on a couple things in my life that I didn't really realize were still bothering me. I do not feel pressured by her and the time flies by too quickly. I look forward to our weekly sessions.
