Erika Henry-Obike Counseling Student

Hi, I'm Erika Henry-Obike counseling student. Therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating for most, as such, I salute your courage for taking this vital step of reaching out for the help you desire and deserve.

My journey into the counseling profession started over 15years ago in my local Church community. Over the years I have had the privilege of helping many gain clarity, discover purpose and healing. My initial exposure in the field of counseling was primarily in Pastoral Counseling, Relationship and Marriage, where I acquired professional certification as a certified Marriage Mentor in addition to a Masters degree in Human Services Counseling: Marriage and Family. During the first three months of the COVID-19 lock down, I received the highest number of calls for counseling for cases mainly related to anxiety, depression, emotional abuse and lots more. That experience necessitated my transition into Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Today, I am a Graduate Student at Houston Christian University and currently an Intern here at Prosperity Counseling Services. My goal is to create an enabling and safe environment for you to unpack, and get empowered as you begin your journey of transformation. I will support and collaborate with you as well as equip you with the strategies and tools necessary for you to live the best and authentic life that you envision for yourself.

I enjoy working with young adults, adults, individuals and couples. I look forward to working with you on this beautiful healing and transformational journey.
