Shalika Eaddy-Henderson, LCSW

Shalika Eaddy-Henderson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her professional path began in the banking sector while earning a Master of Public Administration, an experience that shaped her understanding of financial and workplace stressors and ultimately inspired a career change to social work. She earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and has worked across a range of settings with diverse populations, including people experiencing homelessness, substance use concerns, children, adolescents, and adults.

Shalika emphasizes meeting each person where they are, offering a flexible, client-centered approach that starts by checking in about the week, the day, or even the last hour. She explains the therapeutic process in accessible terms and allows clients to guide how their sessions begin and unfold, reinforcing that therapy is driven by the client’s needs and preferences. In addition to her clinical practice, she is progressing toward a Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University, continuing to build on her clinical knowledge and skills. Her background and training inform a practice focused on practical coping strategies, emotional understanding, and collaborative goal-setting to address concerns such as depression, ADHD, addictions, family and relationship issues, and coping with life changes.
