As the film opens, we find him struggling to cope with the recent personal tragedy of his wife's death.

Unable to come to terms with his own grief and overwhelmed by the weight of his patients' problems, Henry starts turning to marijuana to numb his pain. He begins living an apathetic lifestyle, neglecting his personal appearance and losing interest in his patients' well-being. Despite his success and reputation as LA's top celebrity shrink, Henry becomes cynical about his ability to truly help others, questioning the effectiveness of his own therapy techniques.
Meanwhile, a young aspiring writer named Jeremy (played by Mark Webber) seeks out Henry's help. Jeremy is struggling with drug addiction and an existential crisis. However, it is through their sessions together that both Henry and Jeremy embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.
Throughout the course of the film, Shrink explores the various interconnected storylines of different characters, each grappling with their own personal struggles. Henry reconnects with his old friend, an agent named Patrick (played by Dallas Roberts), who helps him rediscover his passion for life. He also forms an unexpected relationship with a struggling actress, Kate (played by Saffron Burrows), finding solace and companionship in their mutually damaged souls.
As Henry continues to confront his own pain and regrets while simultaneously helping his patients, he gradually starts to heal and overcome his depression. Ultimately, he rediscovers a renewed sense of purpose and begins to regain his faith in his abilities as a psychiatrist.
Shrink is a poignant and darkly comedic drama that delves into the complexities of human suffering, the malleability of the human psyche, and the power of human connection in overcoming personal tragedies.
