Dynesha Henderson, LCSW

Couples & Family Therapist

• Trained at the Ackerman Institute for the Family

• 17 years in clinical practice
• 12 years working specifically with couples
• 10 years of retreat experience

Dynesha has been a therapist helping people navigate the complexities of relationships, life, love, partnership, and growth since 2009. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York, Illinois and Florida, Dynesha has supported hundreds of couples and families in rebuilding trust, improving communication, and rediscovering the connection that first brought them together.

Dynesha has specialized in couples and family therapy for the last 12 years following her specialized training from the renowned Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York; one of the leading institutes for advanced training in couples and family therapy. Through this work, she has developed a deep understanding of relational patterns, emotional dynamics, and the ways couples can move from anger and disconnection toward deeper empathy, compassion and partnership.

Throughout her career, Dynesha has helped hundreds of couples navigate the very challenges this retreat is designed to address. From communication breakdowns and unresolved conflict to rebuilding emotional safety and strengthening long-term partnership, this RESET format Dynesha developed allows couples to experience therapeutic work in a focused and immersive way, creating breakthroughs that might otherwise take months in traditional therapy.

Many of Dynesha’s clients describe her approach as deeply intuitive. She often shares that this work feels like a  God given gift, and one she is honored to steward through the couples she serves. Her presence blends clinical expertise with warmth, insight, and compassion, creating a space where couples feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and open to change.

Dynesha’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that relationships are one of the most meaningful and influential parts of our lives. When a relationship is struggling, it impacts family, work, emotional well-being, and even physical health. As a therapist, but also a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, I know that when a relationship becomes a source of safety, connection, and support, it can transform all of those areas.

Goal: nervous system regulation + orientation

Couples often arrive stressed from travel or anxious about the work.
