Hello! I’m Sherene Henry, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I’m Nationally Certified and hold advanced certifications as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional.

As the Founder and CEO of Love Light Mental Health Counseling Services, PLLC, I lead a multidisciplinary team dedicated to holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. In my dual role as Clinical Director, I oversee clinical operations, mentor emerging therapists, and ensure the highest standards of documentation, ethics, and quality assurance.

With more than 18 years of experience in social services and mental health, my background spans program direction, supervision, and training across both community and private settings. Those experiences taught me that meaningful progress happens when structure, compassion, and integrity work together — a philosophy that guides how I lead my team and serve our clients.

I founded Love Light to create a healing space where therapy is accessible, identity-affirming, and grounded in the integration of mind, body, and spirit. My vision is to continue redefining mental health care by combining evidence-based psychotherapy, mindfulness, and human connection to help people heal, grow, and thrive.

I earned my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy University and have dedicated nearly two decades to supporting individual and collective well-being. I’m deeply committed to mentoring clinicians into confident, ethical professionals who deliver compassionate, high-quality care. Beyond leading Love Light, I engage in professional development and mental health education, presenting on topics related to anxiety, trauma, and clinician growth.

I’m an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I also proudly serve as the Treasurer for the New York Mental Health Counselors Association (NYMHCA), where I contribute to advancing the profession and supporting the growth of counselors across the state.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when therapy is led with compassion, grounded in integrity, and supported by vision, it changes lives — not just for clients, but for communities. That belief continues to guide everything we do at Love Light.
