About John Henry
His clinical work spans trauma, LGBT concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship and couples work, parenting challenges, and a range of mood and behavioral issues. Over many years he has provided individual, adolescent, family, couples, and adult therapy and has offered consultation and parenting workshops designed to strengthen communication, manage child behavior, explore underlying feelings, and resolve problems. For roughly twenty years he consulted with teachers in Oakland, California, supporting after-school programs and classroom practice.
John Henry's background includes experience in community mental health settings, work with latency-age children in a group home environment, and roles as an adolescent and family therapist within a psychiatric hospital. His primary theoretical orientation is psychodynamic, emphasizing how relationships influence daily functioning, and he combines that perspective with trauma-focused treatment, cognitive behavioral strategies, family-structural approaches, solution-focused techniques, and client-centered methods. He has also provided training and supervision to graduate interns and mental health clinicians for about twenty-three years, bringing a strong foundation in both practice and mentorship to his work.
