Shalika, is my force counselor here and most definitely the right fit for me. She immediately made me feel like I was just having a conversation with an old friend which set my anxiety at ease and allowed me to be more free and open in our conversations.

Is something keeping you up at night or you are unable to focus at home and/or work/school? There is a chance that you may need to speak to someone and I may be that someone you need to speak with.
My name is Shalika Eaddy-Henderson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been working in the field for about 8 years and have worked with several populations (homeless, substance abuse, children, adolescence and adults). I started a non-traditional path where I received my first Master's degree in Public Administration while working for a bank. While this may not seem like it is the best path to eventually obtain a Master's degree in Social Work, it helped me tremendously. I gained an appreciation for some of the things an individual may go through which can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. Working at a bank is the reason why I chose the career path of being a Social Worker, to be able to help others manage the stressors of life.
My approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are in a prompt and appropriate manner. I like to begin my sessions with how your week, day or last hour has been and then move into the therapeutic process. However, it will be totally up to you how you would like to begin the process as THERAPY IS FOR YOU!
I attended the University of New Haven (CT) for my Master's in Public Administration and Fordham University (NY) for my Master's in Social Work and have enjoyed every bit of the transition from being employed with a bank to engaging in the therapeutic process with individuals. Additionally, I am close to completing my Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University.
It will be a pleasure working with you when and if you are ready!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Shalika is a wonderful therapist who listens intently and engages as needed to facilitate the sessions. She has a very non- judgmental, easygoing and relatable personality, making it easy to open up and share things that one may not feel comfortable sharing with friends or family. I’m very glad I was matched with her and would definitely recommend Shalika as a therapist.
My sessions with Shalika leave me feeling empowered to go into my next week. She understands my concerns, and offers great suggestions or little homework assignments, and tools to consider, in order to help me feel confident about how I operate in my daily life. Shalika is honest, and earnest with her responses, can gently hold a mirror up to you, and will definitely be genuinely invested in your growth and development. 100% recommended.
Shalika was quick to respond to messages and helped me tremendously in a time of confusion and anxiety. She is respectful, courteous, and genuine. I am grateful for the time she spent with me and helped me address my concerns and worries. i would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking help.
I've only had a few sessions with her. And admittedly don't communicate as often as I should. But I can tell by already the few interactions I've had with my counselor so far are very positive. She's very sweet and compassion. Shalika is a great listener. But she makes sure to not just listen. And really tries to guide you which atleast by me is what a good therapist does. I would highly recommend.
So caring, understanding, and real. Honest feedback that supports healthy development.
Sharika is amazing. She is my third counselor here at BetterHelp and by far the third one was the charm she fits me perfectly it’s very intuitive and direct which I greatly appreciate. I don’t have the time or the patience for standard couch counseling I need someone to just talk to openly honestly and matter-of-factly she is definitely the one. Like a confidant that is also a mirror and will help you see between the lines of your frustration lack of self-confidence negative inner voice and so on.
She is very easygoing and trustworthy. I recommend her to many others.
My therapy experience has been amazing and I finally feel that I've met someone that finally understands me.
Although I’ve only had three sessions with Shalika so far, I feel really comfortable talking to her and believe that she is a very competent and engaged therapist. Her caring nature makes me glad I overcame my initial hesitation to seek therapy, and I look forward to working through certain issues with her help. I would definitely recommend Shalika Eaddy-Henderson.
Right away, Shalika made me feel comfortable and welcomed. She listened, genuinely and allowed us to get to know each other organically. I’m excited about our plans for my future.
Shalika, has only been my counselor for a very short time. I was quite pleased with our initial contact because it was suggested that we meet via video chat to get to know each other. That small act made a huge difference for me because just texting someone would not give me the connection I need to fill open enough to talk to someone about my issues. Our first video chat made me feel like I was in an actual counseling session in an office. She made me feel relaxed and like I was just having a conversation with someone in a coffee shop. She is very direct and even warned me that she would be very direct with me. This is golden to a person like me that is results driven. I cannot wait to continue my counseling with her and be able to express myself freely without fear of judgment.
Shalika is a great listener and engages in a way that makes me feel validated and supported.
Shalika is great! She’s very receptive & gives good advice. She listens to understand & respond. Not just to hear you
She has been easy to talk to about my issues and provides great insight as well as recommendations on how to better myself.
