Getting to know Desiree Harris
I am a licensed therapist (LPCC). I am licensed in California and work from a CBT ad Solution Focused framework.
My approach
In my practice, I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-focused Therapy to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interrelated while supporting them through changes without getting stuck in problems/challenges.
My focus
I have 10 years of experience working with children, adults, students, and families in a variety of areas. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and adjusting to & coping with life changes.
My communication style
I'm intentional about creating an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I take the time to get to know my clients and strive to provide excellent, quality, individualized care.
My journey to mental healthcare
As a child, I grew up in adversity, but there was always something in me that kept me propelled into my future. My personal mission is to encourage and motivate my clients through sustainable life changes that lead to whole-person healing. I am compassionate and encourage growth through collaboration. Can't wait to connect and learn how I can support you through your journey!
My goals for you
Goal setting with my clients is a collaborative process. I will take the time to listen to your needs and concerns, engage you in reflective conversation, and pinpoint goals that meet your needs.
My first session with you
In the first session, we will talk about why you decided to come to therapy. We will discuss your expectations and ideas for therapy. I will also take the time to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process. The first session will be our opportunity to get to know each other in a brief snapshot.
