Theresa Harris

My communication style

You'll feel genuinely heard and respected. I'll help you feel comfortable by explaining that we all need help sometimes to sort out why we don't feel happy. I'll share educational information that applies to your situation. You're the expert on your life; with my counseling skills, I guide you on a pathway to peace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a psychotherapist when coworkers began discussing their lives with me and valued my opinions. I realized I had the patience, loved listening to others, and had the desire to be helpful. Growing up in a family of six siblings encouraged my curiosity about what influences people's behavior.

My goals for you

First, we agree on the most important issue causing dissatisfaction in your life. Together we discuss alternative actions that could have had a more satisfactory outcome, and whether you'd be willing to try them. We choose techniques to apply and practice them in session. You decide how to track success, and we review results.

Our first session

I let you know who I am and share that I have experience navigating many roles in life. I want to know as much about your life as you're willing to share. I especially want to know if there's something we can start to address in this first session. You'll never feel judged in any way.
