About Susan
As a licensed therapist, I bring over 25 years of compassionate counseling experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a welcoming, safe, affirming space for diverse clients, with specialized expertise in stress management, LGBTQ+ support, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery.
I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate personal growth, addressing issues like social anxiety, life transitions, communication challenges, and emotional healing. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on building self-love, understanding personal patterns, and developing meaningful coping strategies.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of experiences, from supporting individuals dealing with workplace stress and relationship complexities to helping clients process deeper emotional wounds. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients can explore their unique journeys, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate greater emotional resilience.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inner strengths, embrace vulnerability, and create transformative personal change. Whether you’re facing life transitions, seeking deeper self-understanding, or working through complex emotional landscapes, I’m here to support your path toward healing and growth.

- “Very supportive”
- “Always calming, new therapies to try,goes back over conversations I skated over.<br /> <br /> I tell her session that I feel lighter after our sessions , Susan was the perfect match for me”
- “Love her!!!!!”
- “I was skeptical that BetterHelp would be able to provide such a professional service. I have attended therapy in person and felt cornered and did not connect well with my therapist. That negative experience led me to suffer with my problems silently for years before trying again. If I had any advice for those that feel this way, it's to take a chance. Susan is a great therapist, and I actually look forward to our sessions. I am so thankful for her and people like her.”
- “Susan is very kind and has been extremely helpful in my journey to becoming a healed version of myself! Highly recommend her”
- “Susan is very easy to talk to. I worry that I'll have nothing to talk about before my sessions, but the questions and prompts she poses about myself and the topics from other sessions immediately open up a safe place for me to talk and share my feelings, memories, worries, and issues without fear of judgement. I'm thankful and happy to have found BetterHelp and Susan Henry.”
- “Very compassionate and understanding”
- “Very kind… didn’t overwhelm me and actually listens.”
- “In the short time I’ve had the pleasure to work with Susan, she’s been an enormous comfort and support system. She is a wonderful listener, and provides concrete suggestions for ways change things I’m struggling with. She works with me to find actions that I’m comfortable with, and sends ample resources to help me continue to grow in between sessions. She is prompt to respond to all messages. A true professional, and she’s truly in this to help her clients.”
- “I love my therapist!!!”
- “Susan has helped me find me again, a different version but still me! Susan has given me multiple ways to look at things, multiple options to deal with stressful situations, ways for me to look at me and ask why is this feeling so stressful, be honest with myself. I am so grateful for her and her continued help.”
