Yasmin Henderson

Art therapy meets entrepreneurship in the dynamic practice of Yasmin Henderson, a multifaceted professional who combines her clinical expertise with a passion for empowering mental health practitioners. As the owner and clinical supervisor at Creative Counseling and Studio, Yasmin has carved out a unique niche in the mental health field, specializing in trauma-informed care for clients across the lifespan while simultaneously nurturing the next generation of therapists.

Yasmin's approach to therapy is as creative as it is comprehensive. With her background as an art therapist, she brings a distinctive blend of traditional therapeutic techniques and expressive arts to her practice. This innovative methodology allows her clients to explore and process their experiences through various artistic mediums, providing a powerful complement to verbal therapy. Her expertise in trauma work enables her to guide individuals of all ages through their healing journeys, utilizing art as a transformative tool for recovery and growth.

Beyond her clinical work, Yasmin has emerged as a beacon for aspiring mental health entrepreneurs. Recognizing the challenges faced by therapists transitioning into private practice, she has developed a professional business coaching program specifically tailored to the needs of mental health professionals. This unique offering stems from her own experience of successfully launching and scaling Creative Counseling and Studio, which she founded in 2019. Yasmin's coaching encompasses everything from practice setup and client acquisition to the intricacies of running a sustainable and ethically sound therapy business.

Yasmin's journey into private practice and business coaching is a testament to her innovative spirit and dedication to the field. After being awarded $4000 in an investor pitch competition with Omaha's I Be Black Girl, she took the leap to open her own practice. Her success story—growing from her first client in November 2019 to a thriving practice with multiple therapists by October 2020—now serves as an inspiration and roadmap for the mental health entrepreneurs she coaches.

At the heart of Yasmin's practice is a commitment to inclusivity and diversity. Creative Counseling and Studio proudly advertises itself as BIPOC, Diverse Ability, Generationally, LGBTQIA2+, and Religiosity-INCLUSIVE, reflecting Yasmin's dedication to creating a safe and welcoming space for all clients and practitioners. This inclusive approach, combined with her expertise in trauma, art therapy, and business development, positions Yasmin Henderson as a unique and valuable resource in the mental health community, capable of nurturing both the emotional well-being of her clients and the professional aspirations of her peers.
