Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She began her career on a nontraditional path, earning a Master of Public Administration while working in the banking sector, an experience that sparked her interest in how financial and life stressors can contribute to depression, anxiety, and substance use. That perspective led her to pursue a Master of Social Work at Fordham University and ultimately to a clinical focus on helping people manage the everyday pressures that interfere with work, school, and personal life.

Over the course of her career she has worked with diverse populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness, people with substance use concerns, children, adolescents, and adults. She approaches therapy with practical attentiveness, meeting each person where they are and beginning sessions by checking in about the week, day, or last hour before moving into therapeutic work. Her style emphasizes client choice - therapy proceeds according to what the client finds most helpful.

Shalika draws on her background and training to address a range of concerns that commonly affect day-to-day functioning. She is also near completion of a Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University, and she brings that continuing education to her clinical practice. When a person is ready, she offers collaborative support to help them navigate the stressors that brought them to therapy.
