Henry Evbuomwan
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience across private practice and crisis centers, I provide compassionate, culturally responsive care tailored to your unique journey. While my primary specialization is in evidence-based care for OCD, anxiety disorders, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), my practice also broadly supports individuals navigating trauma, depression, anger management, life transitions, and interpersonal stress. Utilizing CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and ERP, I combine clinical expertise with deep empathy to create a non-judgmental space where you can unlearn painful patterns, build resilience, and achieve meaningful growth.
First session
After our first session, you will leave feeling genuinely heard, validated, and never judged or pressured. My goal is for you to walk away empowered and encouraged, with a clearer, more knowledgeable understanding of your unique struggles and how we can address them together. Rather than prescribing a rigid plan, I collaborate with you at every step, ensuring you feel actively involved in shaping your care. You will leave with a realistic sense of hope for treatment, concrete next steps, and confidence in the positive outcomes we can achieve together through our therapeutic partnership.
Strengths
I bring an active, collaborative, and deeply holistic approach to every session. Combining attentive, active listening with a highly proactive clinical style, I meet clients with genuine empathy, cultural sensitivity, and zero judgment. Rather than taking a purely passive back seat, I engage interactively to help you unpack complex challenges, identify core goals, and implement actionable strategies for real progress. Having navigated diverse clinical environments across my 13 years of practice, I balance warm, compassionate validation with structured, evidence-based guidance. You can expect a consistent, reliable, and supportive partnership where your cultural background is deeply respected, your unique voice is heard, and your personal growth remains our shared priority.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is an adolescent or adult navigating OCD, severe anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), trauma, or depression. They may feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or chronic stress, but they are ready for tangible, lasting change. Whether managing career transitions, academic pressure, or personal relationships, my ideal client values a collaborative, culturally sensitive environment. They are motivated to engage with active, evidence-based tools like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT. If you are seeking a supportive, non-judgmental partner to help you break unhelpful cycles and build lasting resilience, we will work exceptionally well together.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients examine the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress. I guide clients through practical exercises to reframe negative thinking, build healthier coping mechanisms, and develop actionable strategies to tackle daily challenges with confidence.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP which is the gold-standard treatment for OCD treatment to help clients break free from the cycle of fear and compulsions. Together, we identify your specific obsessions, triggers, compulsions, and feared outcome which we shall use to create specific gradual, manageable exposures. I guide you step-by-step to face anxiety-provoking situations without relying on compulsions or safety measures. Through this compassionate and structured process, your brain learns new pathways to interpret information in a non-threatening, doubtful or scary ways, helping you to tolerate uncertainty and realizing that you do not need to engage in compulsions to violate the feared outcome and live freely. This empowers you to regain control and live freely on your own terms.
