I am a licensed social worker and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress management, and other life changing situations.
My counseling style is warm , laid back, and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines person centered and holistic care of mind, body, and spirit.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Professional that understands a human centric approach to therapy
Thank you for therapist like Michelle. So easy to open up to. Smart, caring and intuitive. Just the person I need to help me become a mentally healthier woman.
So far Dr Michelle has been an amazing help to me during my development period. I am really confident that her expertise and direction will guide me through the process. I would definitely recommend her services. She’s great at what she does!
Dr. Harris is incredible. I walked in a mess and she has listened to me and helped me create a path for growth and progress with check-ins. She is very gentle and allows you to share at your own pace, then she affirms the good in you and that helps you see yourself again. I really enjoy all my sessions with Dr. Harris and I’m so grateful for this investment in my future and to have her guide me.

Dr. Harris is a great counselor. She is patient, attentive, and gives great insights.
Dr. Harris is an amazing therapist! She simply but thoroughly guides you through the process of healing by allowing you to build your own path with using mindfulness as a tool. I always feel like im in a safe space when speaking Dr. Harris.
In just two weeks Dr Harris has brought down my anxiety level from over a 10 down to a 3. It was so easy to open up to her from the start & after only our second phone call I felt freed of so much heavy burden I carried. Not because its fixed yet, but because once again I have HOPE.
I enjoy speaking with Dr Harris because she is non judgemental and calm. She listens patiently and responds with suggestions in a peaceful manner. As someone who is anxious and high strung, her sincerely kind and even keel demeanor is appreciated.
Dr. Harris is very responsive and encouraging, and I always felt motivated and uplifted after speaking to her. She is great at checking in with you and responding quickly to your concerns
Dr. Harris has made me feel seen, heard, and accepted through my own faults and moments of success. In the past, I have felt very judged by counselors, but I have not felt this in any way by Dr. Harris. She makes me feel like a whole person wanting to become better for my own happiness.
It has been a wonderful time learning from dr Harris she understands me in a way that previous therapists have not
