About Dr. Henderson

Joshua M. Henderson, Ph.D.

Joshua M. Henderson, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the Osito Clinic of Family Psychology. He’s a Spanish-speaking licensed clinical psychologist in New Jersey and New York. His work centers on psychological assessment, especially autism and ADHD evaluation, alongside therapy with children, adults and families.

He earned his Ph.D. in counseling psychology at Fordham University and holds an adjunct appointment in Fordham’s Graduate School of Education.

Therapy for children and teens

Dr. Henderson works with children and teens, starting at age 3. He’s good at connecting with kids who are hard to reach, and he works closely with parents on clear goals for behavior and family relationships.

Family therapy

Some problems are easier to solve with the whole family in the room. Dr. Henderson uses Structural Family Therapy to help families change the patterns that keep conflict going.

For parents and children with a history of trauma, he uses ARC (Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency), a trauma framework that brings children and caregivers into the work together.
