Getting to know Renita Harrigan

My name is Renita Harrigan, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and a licensed and ordained minister. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a Bachelor's degree from Talladega College. I work with individuals and families, specializing in anxiety, depression, and family conflict. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help my clients move beyond negative thoughts toward healthier options. My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it helps me understand how clients' mindsets are shaped by childhood or current events. For clients who identify as Christian and wish to incorporate spirituality, I integrate a biblical approach into our sessions. I typically work with young adults, adults, and senior adults facing life challenges and communication issues. These challenges may appear as isolation, depression, stress, negative thoughts, or anger. I help clients develop skills to address these areas in their daily lives. My communication style is direct, nonjudgmental, personable, and compassionate. I strive to create a healthy environment where clients feel comfortable sharing things others may not know. My journey to mental healthcare began as a young adult when people would come to me to talk about their life issues. They said my soothing voice calmed them, restored their hope, and gave them tools to make healthier decisions. While working in social services and volunteering in the prison system, I learned that regardless of background, everyone wants to be respected and heard. During our initial session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking counseling and identify significant people in your life. My goal is to support you in finding hope and healthier ways to navigate your challenges.
