Get To Know Me.
Hello!
I'm Rasheeda Henry, a passionate and empathetic relationship and sex therapist providing support in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and virtually across Ontario. My mission is to guide and empower my clients through the complexities of relationships with themselves and others, especially when it comes to desire and sexuality.
Relationships require vulnerability, and so does discussing intimate topics like sex. I understand the importance of feeling safe and supported when navigating these sensitive areas. In our sessions, I strive to create a space where you can openly express your desires and fears, knowing that I am here to listen without judgment.
With a background in supporting couples, I can help you unlock the power of effective communication, allowing you and your partner to build stronger connections and mutually fulfilling relationships. If anxiety or self-esteem issues arise in the bedroom, we will explore ways you can regain confidence and enjoy a more fulfilling sexual experience.
Behind my practices lies an extensive experience working with diverse populations, including vulnerable individuals such as children, young people, and victims of crime. This experience has shaped my ability to employ a trauma-informed lens, ensuring that we address any triggers associated with past traumas with care and sensitivity.
I have completed trainings and gained certificates in various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Additionally, I have furthered my understanding of sexual and gender issues through my enrollment in ISEE. This has allowed me to expand my vocabulary and knowledge on working effectively with individuals of diverse sexual identities and relationships.
When working with me, you can expect a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment. I am here to meet you where you are on your journey, offering guidance and understanding every step of the way. Together, we will work towards creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self.
I enjoy staying active and prioritizing my wellness. I love exploring new restaurants and discovering new flavors, although I have to admit, I have a bit of a sweet tooth! I have even challenged myself by participating in a 5k race and have my sights set on running the Disney Marathon in the future. As a lifelong learner, I am currently learning Spanish and have aspirations to learn French and Korean.
