About Us
HOLISTIC EXPRESSION AND CONSULTATION SERVICES
Chrishona Henry, LPC, RN
Founder of Holistic Expression and Consultation Services
Holistic Expression and Consultation Services was founded in 2020 in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The founder experienced first hand how challenging it was to find a telehealth therapist who looked like her and could support her during a challenging time. The founder acknowledged that others were experiencing the same and decided to create Holistic Expression and Consultation Services, PLLC. The founder also wanted to offer opportunities for LPC residents to grow and hone skills. Combining the love of mental and medical health, Holistic Expression aims to support the whole person by acknowledging the interaction of mind and body and offering healing in a myriad of ways. Although a primarily telehealth practice today, Holistic Expression and Consultation Services will expand to a luxury health focused environment for individual and community growth in the upcoming years. Stay tuned!
