Cathy Harris, LCSW

About me

I offer a warm, down-to-earth approach to many of life's problems. Acceptance and assistance to develop helpful skills for life are necessary if you have survived difficult events and circumstances. If you are feeling stuck and have already tried to "just get over it", give me a try. "What happened to you" and how you may have been affected is much more important that "what's wrong with you?" (symptoms) as we explore how your past is affecting your present.

"And the day came when the pain of remained the same was greater than the risk to grow" (anonymous). If you have arrived at this point and are ready to take action, I can offer support, education and help to move beyond despair and fear. I like to think of therapy as "doable" work that can allow you to live in joy and wellness.

I have over 18 years' experience working with a variety of people from many cultural backgrounds. I believe we all have an equal measure of worth and that all deserve respect and support. I have experienced many things in life and offer compassion and empathy as well as a wellness/recovery approach to many of life's obstacles.

I look forward to working with you!
