Hi, I’m Chepo!

My given name is Clifford Henry, but feel free to call me Chepo, and my pronouns are they/them. As a non-binary, BIPOC, Latinx therapist, I understand how tough it can be to feel safe in an unwelcoming world. My practice is grounded in liberation, self-discovery, and the power of storytelling. As a first-generation college graduate, I deeply understand the intersections of identity, culture, and mental health.

You deserve therapy that recognizes and affirms your unique identity and experiences. I founded Roots of Resilience Therapy to create a space where BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and nontraditional relationship structures are honored and supported.
