  • I have been a licensed psychologist since 2007. I have advanced training in eating disorders, PTSD, and suicide prevention. I also have knowledge and a great deal of experience in many different areas, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, etc. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I generally use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and interpersonal modalities in therapy. I was in private practice from 2007-2015 and then worked full-time for the Veterans' Administration (VA) for almost ten years. I have recently transitioned back to private practice. I have been doing only telehealth for the past five years. I must admit that I was skeptical about telehealth at first, but have been absolutely amazed at how effective it is.

Therapist

I provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and confidential space where you can express yourself freely. My priority is to create an environment where you feel heard, valued, and respected. I believe therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” I tailor my approach based on your unique needs, experiences, and goals, using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Strategies.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will walk alongside you. I empower you to set the pace, make decisions, and discover solutions that work best for you. While we address challenges, I also highlight your resilience, strengths, and personal growth, helping you recognize the progress you are making along the way.

I understand that life can be overwhelming, and I will never expect perfection from you. I approach my work with authenticity, empathy, and a sense of humor when appropriate because I believe healing happens best when we can be real.

There is no "right way" to heal, and setbacks are part of growth. I am here to support you in moments of triumph as well as struggle, without pressure or unrealistic expectations. If something isn't working for you, we can adjust. Your comfort and trust in this process matter, and I encourage open communication to ensure therapy is effective and meaningful for you.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create a life that aligns with your values and well-being. You are not alone, and I am honored to be part of your journey.

Kristen Henderson

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Tampa, working with adults and couples who want more than surface-level therapy. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who look like they have it together, but internally feel stuck in patterns, overwhelmed, or disconnected in the relationships that matter most to them.

My background is in relational and insight-oriented therapy, so we focus on understanding what’s underneath, not just managing symptoms. I’m engaged, direct, and collaborative, and when practical tools would actually help, we use them.

I work with anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotionally stuck or high-conflict dynamics. With couples, I focus on rebuilding connection, improving communication, and helping each person honestly understand their role in the pattern.

Therapy with me is about more than getting through the week. It’s about actually understanding yourself and changing what isn’t working.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Finding the right postpartum therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum mental health concerns can include depression, anxiety, mood changes, difficulty bonding, or intrusive thoughts — and a provider who specializes in perinatal mental health care will be familiar with all of these. Look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT) or psychiatrist with experience in prenatal and postpartum care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they feel like the right match.

Practical factors matter too, especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider whether you prefer virtual sessions you can attend from home or in-person appointments in the Fort Lauderdale or greater Broward County area. Availability and scheduling flexibility can make a real difference — look for providers who have open appointment times that fit your routine.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
