Henny Sprei is a licensed social worker who brings warmth, compassion, and deep respect to her work with individuals navigating life’s challenges. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from Touro University and works in both English and Yiddish. Henny specializes in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly in the context of domestic violence and sexual assault. She is a certified rape crisis counselor and is passionate about helping survivors reclaim safety, voice, and strength in their healing process.
Her therapeutic style is collaborative and strengths-based, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy. Henny believes therapy should be both a safe and brave space—where clients feel deeply heard and supported as they work toward growth, clarity, and self-compassion.
In addition to her work with trauma, Henny has experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, and offers a sensitive, affirming space for those navigating identity, relationships, and belonging. Her familiarity with both the Ultra-Orthodox and LGBTQ+ communities allows her to meet clients where they are, with empathy and cultural understanding.
Originally from Brooklyn, Henny made aliyah in 2024. She is passionate about helping Jewish individuals live authentically, heal from pain, and move forward with meaning and connection.
