I've been with Shonda Harris for a few weeks now. She's been amazing so far. I can't wait to see how the future looks.

Reviewed January 2022

It is so helpful to have someone to talk things through after having gone through trauma. My viewpoints are often off , because my perspectives often come out of a place of woundedness. She is so good at supporting me and helping to evaluate my mindsets and thinking patterns that keep in in an unhealthy place.

  • LPC

I am an LPC-S, trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with wide range of experience. I have many years of experience working with those with mental health issues such as depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. I will help you to understand your diagnosis and how to build coping skills. I also work with individuals experiencing relationship problems, struggling to reach goals, or seeking behavioral changes.

I will help you understand the relationship of your thoughts, actions, and feelings. We will work to find what changes you want to make and how to best make that happen.

I enjoy working with diverse populations and have a non-judgmental approach. It is important to me that you feel safe and free to express yourself.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I love Shonda so much. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She understands me as a woman, a Christian, and a creative. I would 100% recommend her to everyone.

Reviewed April 2021

Shonda is literally my first positive experience with counseling. I’ve tried seeing others before, but I’ve always found myself not committing to sessions. My previous experiences with counselors have felt very sterile and methodical. With Shonda, she creates a really safe environment, is clear and kind about things that are tough to hear from others (which I super need), and relates to me as a human. I’ve only had a few sessions with her thus far, but I’m looking forward to all the potential rabbit holes we’ll be diving into that I’ve been wanting to talk with someone about for so long.
