Margrit Harris, LCSW — Therapist in Arkansas

Hi there, I'm Margrit!

You've just taken your first step to get the help you deserve. As a human who has lived long enough to experience most of life's phases, it would be my privilege to be part of your healing journey.

My focus

I welcome teens, seniors, and everyone in between who are ready for change. I support clients through challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, grief, psychosis, and personality disorders. They are all determined to improve their well-being and face the "hard stuff" to make necessary changes.

My approach

Therapy is centered on you. I'm here to support your healing, growth, and change. My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. We'll prioritize your goals and use techniques like CBT for thoughts and DBT for mind/body calm to help you move forward.

My communication style

Each session is entirely about you. It's a time to be heard, receive feedback, and find solutions. We will heal past hurts, embrace the present, and find future hope and purpose. This journey requires effort and engagement, bringing new ideas and habits. You'll discover the choices that lead to fulfillment and a happy life.

My journey to mental healthcare

This is my second go-around in mental health care. I was a therapist and clinic manager, providing individual, group, couples, and family therapy. I left the field for diverse opportunities and returned, bringing a lifetime of adventures with me.

My goals for you

My primary hope is that you will feel safe exploring deep hurts, seemingly obnoxious behaviors, and disturbing moods. When you allow me into your world, the two of us can collaborate to discover solutions to your vexing problems and achieve the goals that led you to seek therapy.

Our first session

If this is your first time in therapy, it is totally normal to feel nervous. We'll spend time getting to know each other, and I'll be asking some questions. You can ask questions. We'll set ground rules for working together. Before the session is over, you'll leave with one tiny thing to experiment with before we meet again. Ready to get started?
