Daunte Henderson, LSCW (He, Him)

I believe people begin to heal when they feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. If you are here, you may be carrying anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, stress, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together while feeling disconnected inside. You may be used to showing up strong for everyone else, while quietly wondering where you can go to be honest about what you are carrying.

 

Therapy with me is a collaborative space where your story matters. I work from a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based lens, which means we will not only look at what hurts, but also what has helped you survive. Together, we may explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, family history, coping skills, and sense of self. My approach often includes CBT, DBT, expressive arts, music, and culturally grounded conversation, but the work is always shaped around you, not just a modality.

 

I work with adults, individuals, families, and groups navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting, stress, and the emotional weight of living in systems that do not always make room for one’s full humanity. I am especially committed to creating affirming and emotionally safe spaces for LGBTQ+ communities, including queer, transgender, and non-binary individuals, as well as Black, African American, Hispanic, and Latino communities. As a Black male therapist and clinical social worker, I value honesty, cultural humility, emotional safety, and helping people name experiences they may not have always had language for.

 

Should you choose to seek care with me, I currently accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna/Evernorth, Magellan, and UnitedHealthcare (UHC/UBH). For out-of-network plans, documentation for reimbursement can also be provided.
