Getting to know Janai Harris
I am a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Illinois with over nine years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, as well as a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress management, life skill development, effective communication and conflict resolution, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career obstacles, ADD/ADHD, and other areas. My experience spans all life stages: from children in school settings, adolescents at colleges and universities, to adults in inpatient medical settings, private practice, and correctional facilities. I also support individuals who have experienced traumatic life events. In addition to direct practice, I supervise a team of mental health professionals providing care to mentally, physically, and developmentally impaired patients in an enhanced outpatient setting.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our initial session, where a lot of demographic data and historical information is discussed, clients can expect to have a safe and judgment free space to discuss their challenges, while simultaneously being challenged to work through their presenting issues. In session, we will process and unpack but also will actively work on problems to foster growth and healing.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
