Getting to know Cynthia Harris

Hi, my name is Cynthia Harris. I provide Teletherapy in the State of California. I am dedicated to offering culturally responsive and identity-affirming therapies to men and women. I have been licensed since 1986. My theoretical approach is eclectic, solution-based, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and existential in nature. Depending on your needs, we may focus on lifestyle, situational, or transitional challenges. I believe that psychoeducation and mindfulness are key to making healthy decisions that can turn bad choices into hopeful opportunities. My communication style is gentle, encouraging, assertive, and non-judgmental. My journey to becoming a therapist started after I moved to San Francisco and volunteered on a suicide hotline. I was amazed at how much people appreciated the encouragement and hope they found after sharing their fears. I was good at listening and processing with clients. I am driven by a strong sense of accomplishment and pride when clients thank me over and over again. I attended San Francisco State University, where I earned my Master's in Social Work. I have worked on the front lines in community mental health, CDC/CCCMS (prison system), the Veteran's Administration, Kaiser CDRP, and private practice, to name a few experiences. I am collaborative and believe that you know yourself better than I do. Deep down, we all sometimes need a guide to lend a hand through difficult times.
