Getting to know Najila Harris

As a therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from DePaul University and a Bachelor's from Saint Xavier University, I hold a strong belief in the effectiveness of therapy to empower individuals, cultivate self-awareness, and facilitate meaningful personal growth. My ideal client is someone earnestly seeking support through life's challenges, possibly grappling with anxiety, depression, or transitions, especially adolescents and young adults. They seek a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions, aiming to empower themselves, build self-awareness, and develop coping strategies. They value evidence-based therapy and are motivated to improve their well-being and quality of life through the therapeutic process.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy, Najila emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based techniques. She creates a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. Tailoring her approach to each individual, she draws from modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Together, she builds a strong alliance, fostering self-awareness and guiding towards positive change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Najila works with individuals and couples at Grey Area Therapy, providing both in-person and telehealth services. Some of her clinical interests include working with adolescents and emerging adults guiding them through the challenges of identity exploration, peer and romantic relationships, academic/vocational stress, and navigating transitions into adulthood. Najila also works with clients that are managing anxiety and depression, addressing issues related to eating disorders and body image, building self-esteem, and developing coping skills for life's uncertainties and managing life transitions.
