🌟 Clinician Spotlight: Jory Zhang, LSW (He/Him) 🌟

We’re honored to highlight Jory Zhang, an associate therapist specializing in trauma healing through an anti-oppressive, relational, and somatic lens.

Jory brings over 14 years of experience in crisis intervention, sexual and intimate partner violence response, harm reduction, and trauma-informed care, supporting children, youth, and adults across diverse settings. His critical self-reflection, grounded presence, and deep integrity foster spaces where clients feel safe to exhale and reconnect with their own wisdom.

Guided by his intersectional QTPOC identities, Jory creates culturally affirming and empowering spaces that center curiosity, care, repair, and joy. His work is rooted in the belief that healing and social justice are deeply interconnected, and he is deeply committed to decolonizing mental health practices.

💬 In Jory’s words:

“You are the expert in your own life. My role is collaborating with you to bring to the forefront your capacities and knowledge sets.”

🌟 Clinician Spotlight: Daunte Henderson, LCSW (He/Him) 🌟

We’re proud to highlight Daunte Henderson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings over 8 years of experience in the mental health field to According to Sykes.

Daunte works with individuals, couples, and families (ages 18–60), supporting those navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, and men’s issues. His approach is trauma-informed and eclectic, drawing from CBT, DBT, and ACT, with a focus on fostering resilience through culturally responsive care.

Daunte believes that “significant change can happen when there are significant systems of support surrounding an individual.” His work is rooted in being one cog in a greater network of healing and growth.

Outside of the therapy room, Daunte channels his creativity through writing and community engagement—while valiantly resisting the lure of new sneakers and late-night Insomnia Cookies 🍪👟
