Tressa Henson
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Tressa
I’m a licensed therapist practicing in Michigan and Texas with extensive experience supporting clients through life’s most challenging moments. My work spans a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and anger management. I’m particularly skilled at helping clients navigate life transitions, trauma recovery, communication difficulties, and identity-related issues.
I work with clients across the lifespan—from young adults to older adults—and bring a culturally responsive, affirming approach to therapy. I’m also committed to addressing multicultural concerns and the unique challenges my clients face at home, in the office and interpersonal relationships. Whether you’re navigating workplace stress, financial concerns, relationship issues, family dynamics, or questions about life purpose and self-love, I’m here to support you.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for your individual experience. I believe in meeting you where you are and collaborating with you to build meaningful change. I’m honored by the trust you place in me and look forward to walking alongside you on your healing journey.

- “I am pleased to write a review for Tressa, who I have been working with for almost a year now. I cannot express enough how much Tressa has helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Tressa's guidance and support have been invaluable to me, as she has helped me navigate through my personal relationships, my past childhood trauma, and my role in caring for a parent with mental health challenges.<br /> <br /> Tressa's expertise is evident in her cognitive behavioral therapy tasks and guidance, which have been critical in helping me recognize my own thinking and actions, and ways to change unhelpful habits and patterns. She has been patient and compassionate with me, and has created a safe and welcoming environment where I feel comfortable discussing even the most sensitive topics. Her ability to ask insightful questions and provide thoughtful feedback has helped me gain a greater understanding of my own emotions and thought processes.<br /> <br /> Tressa is responsive to my needs, and has provided me with tools and strategies to help me cope with challenges outside of our sessions. Her genuine care and dedication have been instrumental in my personal growth and healing.<br /> <br /> Overall, I cannot recommend Tressa enough. If you are seeking a therapist who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and committed to your personal growth and well-being, Tressa is the therapist for you. I am grateful for all of her guidance and support, and I will always be thankful for the positive impact she has had on my life.”

- “Understanding and compassionate”
- “Tressa has been amazing to work with! In only two sessions, she has provided me with resources, insight and tools that I have been able to implement that have made me feel empowered. I believe and trust that I am fully capable of being responsible for my life; what I want and need; my own happiness. I am learning to trust myself to walk away and say no to things that are a contradiction to my beliefs, wants and needs. I am capable of taking accountability for my choices. I can trust myself to look after, love and honor myself. And that is what I came here to get. Thank you, Tressa. I am truly grateful and I am looking forward to continuing to work together. This feels good☺️”
