About me
Hi there! I’m Emily Henry, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Chicago, IL, with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life’s complexities.My path into this work began with music. Before entering the mental health field, I studied music engineering and later earned a degree in Music Therapy from Berklee College of Music, which led to a formative internship at the University of Illinois Chicago in 2008.After completing my internship I pursued a Masters in Social Work (MSW) at Loyola University Chicago in 2011. Today, I specialize in working with adults, and the LGBTQ+ community who are navigating patterns that feel difficult to break. My clinical work centers on the intersection of addiction, identity, and high-functioning stress, helping individuals build insight, resilience, and sustainable change.
Fees
Therapy is a deeply personal investment in your well-being. I offer a limited, thoughtfully curated practice designed to provide highly individualized, attentive care. To support a range of preferences, I offer the following payment options:Out-of-Network Benefits
For those with out-of-network insurance benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for services. Sessions are paid for at the time of care, and I provide a detailed monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider.
Many clients appreciate the flexibility this option offers, allowing them to access care while still receiving reimbursement, depending on their plan.Private Pay
Many clients choose to engage in therapy on a private-pay basis, allowing for the highest level of discretion, flexibility, and personalized attention.Fees are as follows:
$200 for a 75-minute initial session
$150 for a 50-minute follow-up sessionA Note on Privacy & Personalization
Insurance-based care requires a formal mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent medical record. For some individuals—particularly those in professional, leadership, or public-facing roles—this may not align with their long-term preferences.
Private pay offers a more tailored and confidential experience, free from the administrative and diagnostic requirements of insurance. This allows our work together to remain focused on your goals, with an emphasis on depth, nuance, and individualized care.
