Jerry Hendrix is a clinical psychotherapist in training and a graduate student at Townsend Institute at Concordia University, Irvine, where he is pursuing his master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. Jerry brings a warm, collaborative, and patient-centered
approach to therapy, creating an environment of acceptance, empathy, and curiosity. He works alongside patients to foster self-discovery, build on personal strengths, and promote emotional well-being and resilience to help them accomplish their goals.
Jerry is passionate about working with patients diagnosed with attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety, and depression. He is committed to meeting individuals where they are and helping them develop tools and strategies to thrive both personally and professionally. Jerry draws from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). He tailors his approach to the unique needs and goals of each patient.
Jerry’s clinical interests are also shaped by his involvement and long-standing support of nonprofit organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of America and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity. These experiences fuel his dedication to working with patients from underrepresented backgrounds, particularly those exploring cultural identity issues or facing challenges in nondiverse spaces.
Before entering the field of therapy, Jerry began his career in investment banking on Wall Street and later held investing roles in private equity and venture capital across New York City and Toronto. These experiences inform his ability to support professionals navigating high-performance work environments, career transitions, and work-life integration challenges.
Outside of work, Jerry enjoys spending time with his wife and dog, creative writing, exploring film and television, and experimenting with fermentation in the kitchen.
