Expert Clinical Psychology Services in Plainview, NY
Dr. Sherry Henig is a clinical psychologist with over four decades of experience serving individuals, couples, and families on Long Island. My practice combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems approaches to address emotional, behavioral, and social challenges across the lifespan. I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology and have pursued advanced postdoctoral training in child and adolescent psychotherapy, sex therapy, and OCD treatment. My work extends beyond the office through self-help books for children, parents, and adults, addressing issues like bedtime fears, encopresis, and adolescent-parent relationships. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and developmental disorders using evidence-based modalities including EMDR, play therapy, and exposure response prevention.With affiliations to professional organizations like the American Psychological Association and AASECT certification, I maintain rigorous standards of practice while offering HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions. My approach prioritizes client autonomy, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs while maintaining ethical confidentiality boundaries. I actively collaborate with parents in child therapy and provide sex therapy informed by specialized training. My career spans academic contributions, public speaking engagements on parenting and relationships, and continuous adaptation to evolving therapeutic methodologies.
