Felicia Harper, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Felicia!

I support you during your exploration and unpacking of life experiences that have shaped you. You will learn new skills to enhance your mental health and manage the difficulties that come your way.

My focus

My ideal client is ready to lean into self-discovery, confront what's been holding them back, and commit to meaningful change. I work best with individuals open to exploring their emotional landscape, examining their patterns, and doing the deep work necessary for healing and growth.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. Together, we'll uncover and address the behaviors and patterns holding you back, empowering you to move forward with confidence.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, relaxed, and focused on making you feel comfortable from the start. I listen closely, let sessions flow naturally, and use humor to help break down walls and ease into deeper conversations. I want our time together to feel real and grounded, where you can show up fully and feel supported every step of the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider began with a deep commitment to supporting children and families facing behavioral and psychological challenges. I've worked across home, school, residential, and clinical settings, partnering with caregivers to guide meaningful change and foster emotional growth.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by exploring patterns influencing their challenges. Together, we identify clear, realistic goals and create tailored systems for lasting progress. We track goals regularly and incorporate engaging activities that keep the work meaningful and aligned.

Our first session

The first session is all about building a connection and understanding what brings you to therapy at this point in your life. We will explore the initial concerns that led you here, and I will walk you through a brief questionnaire covering your biographical background, significant life events, and family history.
