Tina Henderson, MA, LCSW

I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I have been a behavioral health provider since 2010, with a specialty in substance abuse, ACOAs, co-dependency and addictions. I have experience working with recovering individuals in all three clinical treatment settings, including detox, rehab and outpatient. I have also worked within a variety of behavioral health models including assertive community treatment (ACT), an intervention model designed to address issues of non-compliance with treatment. My expertise includes psychotherapy techniques that address the symptoms of depression, anxiety and mood disorders that addicts attempt to self-medicate by misuse of illicit substances and other addictive activities such as compulsive Internet use and gambling. In my psychotherapy practice, I use interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing that are evidence based. My interests include innovative psycho-social and non-clinical interventions for addiction treatment and codependency. I consult on a wide variety of addiction topics including the stages of change, treatment options, relapse prevention, interpersonal boundaries, co-occurring disorders, co-dependency and family systems communication. I strongly believe that the interpersonal problems associated with all types of addictions can be resolved. Through Internet communications and individual psychotherapy, I intend to spread this positive recovery message to everyone looking for answers.
