Services of Dr. Harry Henshaw

My name is Dr. Harry Henshaw.  I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice for 38 years.  I have worked in the mental health, addiction, and substance use fields in inpatient, residential, and outpatient counseling settings in Illinois, Florida, and Massachusetts. I also hold a doctorate in Human Development from Boston University. I am currently living and working in Port Charlotte, Florida. 

I want to discuss four therapeutic, holistic services I provide as a counselor and psychotherapist to the local, national and global community. 

COUNSELING SERVICES

The first service that I provide is individual counseling sessions with those suffering from substance use, addiction, and mental health issues.  The sessions that I offer are designed to assist and support individuals who are motivated to change and transform their lives but are struggling with drug addiction, alcohol dependence, substance use problems, or mental health issues like depression, anxiety, stress, emotional trauma, or low self-esteem.

A positive self-image and good self-esteem are essential for anyone who wants to experience a healthy and happy life. The true and only solution to drug addiction, alcohol dependency, and substance use problems, as well as most mental health issues, is for a person to learn how to develop or create a positive self-image and good self-esteem. The key to this transformation is to be discovered in changing your thinking, especially about your value and worth as a human being. The focus of my counseling services is to assist an individual in learning how to develop a positive self-image and good self-esteem.

When people learn to think differently, especially about themselves and others, when they learn how to think positively about themselves and others and stop all negativity towards both, they will begin to love themselves authentically as they are in the present moment. As a result of this inner transformation, a person will not engage in self-destructive behaviors, including using drugs and alcohol, that endanger their well-being and existence. The goal of my counseling services is to help an individual learn how to transform their negative thinking about themselves, others, and life to that which is positive so that they can come to love themselves authentically.

In my private practice, I provide reasonably priced online or virtual individual counseling sessions. To schedule an online counseling session, please visit my website at https://www.enhancedhealing.com/online-counselor or call 305-498-3442.

SUPPORT GROUP

The second service I provide is a free online counseling support group. This group is conducted every day of the week. It is for anyone in recovery or those individuals who are struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction or substance use issue.  Mental health issues are also discussed in this daily support group.  

The free morning support group offers an alternative, holistic approach to addiction, substance use, recovery, and mental health issues and counseling. Topics such as self-esteem, self-love, responsibility, choice, power of your thoughts and beliefs, resistance to change, and forgiveness are discussed in a safe, empathic environment.

The group also allows those experiencing substance use or mental health issues an opportunity to share what is going on in their life and to receive constructive feedback and suggestions designed to help them find effective solutions to their problems.

The free counseling support group meets daily, seven days a week, from 7 am to 8 am EST!

RELAXATION MUSIC

I have composed and produced therapeutic relaxation music, the third service I provide. The music is designed to help individuals learn how to experience a profound state of relaxation and, as a result, reduce, if not eliminate, their anxiety and stress, thereby promoting a sense of health, wellness and healing. 

My therapeutic relaxation music is uniquely designed to create a profound state of relaxation in the individual who listens to it. First, it is made with sustained chords to accomplish this goal. The more sustaining the musical chords, the more a sense of relaxation is created or instilled within the listener. The relaxation music feels very slow in tempo, with little chord change or progression. 

Relaxation music is also very repetitious. The therapeutic relaxation music most effective for reducing anxiety and stress utilizes short musical patterns that repeat themselves. As with sustained chords, the more repetitive the therapeutic music, the more of a sense of deep relaxation is created for the listener. The repetitious nature of the music soothes the client into a deep state of relaxation and ease.

In addition to the sustained chores and repetitious nature of the relaxation music, binaural audio tones are also utilized to assist the person in moving into a more relaxed state. Effective therapeutic relaxation music uses either theta binaural audio tones for a deep, profound state of relaxation or delta binaural audio tones for inducing sleep. Utilizing binaural audio tones further enhances the power of the therapeutic relaxation music.

I composed and created all the therapeutic relaxation music recordings that I offer. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I am also a musician with 11 years of piano training as a child. All relaxation music recordings are 30 minutes in length and only $2.95. They also come with a full money-back guarantee.

BOOK

The fourth service I provide is through a book I wrote and have now published at Amazon, "A Prelude to a Paradigm Shift for Addiction."  The purpose of this book is to present a new way of understanding and treating individuals suffering from addictive behaviors. As we know, the current treatment industry's programming does not offer any hope of finding a solution to addictive behaviors. I believe that a solution to addictive behaviors exists and that it can be developed to help those experiencing addictive behaviors effectively.

The addiction and substance use industry needs a transformation. The relapse rate for those who complete treatment programs is very high. We also know that the death rate due to drug overdoses is continuing to rise. More and more individuals are currently turning to the use of drugs and alcohol than ever before. While nothing has been done to rectify these situations, the treatment industry continues to provide the same services. Something must be done to help those who are suffering from substance use disorders. I believe that the initial problem that we have in the treatment of addictive behaviors is an epistemic one. 

"Prelude to a Paradigm Shift for Addiction" is an introduction or prelude to the development of a new paradigm for understanding drug and alcohol addiction and dependency. The current paradigm used to understand addictive behaviors is not adequate, as is exemplified by the ineffectiveness of the treatment inventions being used to treat addicts and alcoholics. I believe that we have been looking in the wrong place for both the cause of addiction and the solution to these disorders. I think that addictive behaviors are not about a person's physiology but rather about their psychology. When we change how we view addiction, we can provide effective and efficient services to those in need.
