Blessing Uchendu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and organizations to use authenticity as an avenue for emotional wellness. Providing therapy to clients in New York and Illinois and emotional wellness coaching nationally and internationally, Blessing understands that individual wellness is deeply connected to our interconnectedness as human beings. I believe that we each have the capacity to live wholehearted, authentic lives. Therapy is a creative exploration to uncover barriers to living fully, and is a space where you are safe to imagine new, liberatory possibilities. It gives me joy to be your collaborator as these possibilities emerge into the world and permit you to live in unimagined ways. All of us are shaped by our experiences, and as such, consideration of your identity is a vital aspect of our work together. While beginning a therapeutic journey can take tremendous courage, my hope is that through creating a safe therapeutic space together, real healing can occur. Congratulations on taking this step to invest in yourself. I look forward to our work together. My practice is completely online and facilitated through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. [Read More]

It all started when… I was in Brooklyn College and decided to take my first undergraduate psychology course. I discovered that the brain and mind were such interesting and complex entities. From that moment on, I chose to learn more about psychology, and eventually go into psychotherapy. My goal was to help others make sense of their inner world, their struggles, their hopes and dreams. After about 20 years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and veterans in a myriad of settings. I’m a U.S. Army veteran served from 1991 – 2002. I attended Brooklyn College where I obtained a BA in Psychology. I attended Long Island University – Brooklyn Campus where I obtained an MA in Psychology, and a MS in Mental Health Counseling. I’m licensed in the state of New York to practice mental health counseling. I’m also an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and Board Certified Telemental Health Counselor (BC-TMH). Among other things, I’m a Director in a mental health facility providing readjustment counseling for combat veterans and their families, and counseling for military sexual trauma survivors.
