Anne-Marie James-Henry, LCMFT, MFT, MCC

Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist

Practice Owner

My Story

I am a spouse, mother, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, minister, mentor, coach, writer, author, and therapist.

I have known broken relationships, betrayal, rejection, grief, loss, career change, migration, medical crisis and so much more.

My life is a fascinating journey of twists and turns. I was born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago and migrated to the United States after a life-altering medical diagnosis at age 45 years old, which launched me on a path where I learned to pivot and reinvent myself. I became a military spouse, mother, homemaker, and now full-time therapist, and business owner.

Serving you as a therapist was a lifelong dream that started in careers that spanned education, business, administration, mentorship, and pastoral ministry.

As you can guess, I am passionate about purposeful living in spirituality, relationships, careers, and mental health. One of my greatest joys is hearing clients speak about their growth experience in therapy.

My Qualifications

I am a relationship specialist and competent counselor with over 20 years of experience providing couples therapy, pre-marital counseling, Christian counseling, mental health therapy, behavioral intervention, and life skill coaching to individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life through difficult seasons.

I have a diverse background as a culturally competent therapist because of my diverse Caribbean, immigrant background and my experience as an experienced women’s conference speaker and military spouse.

I am a gifted counselor who provides spiritual and faith-based counseling services to clients. I have a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Abilene Christian University, located in Abilene Texas, and a second master’s degree in Christian counseling from Jacksonville Theological Seminary, Jacksonville Florida.
