About me
My career began with me providing home-based clinical services to adoptive and foster families of children exhibiting a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties. After working with children and families I transitioned to provided therapy and case management to returning citizens. I’ve most recently worked as a Rehabilitation Counselor providing therapeutic services and interventions to individuals with seen and unseen disabilities. I have worked with clients of all ages, ethnicity, and cultural backgrounds, with a wide range of concerns including depression, abuse, trauma, anxiety, ADHD relationship issues, substance use, and career challenges.
I believe in honoring everyone unique differences as it allows for growth and increased knowledge. My therapeutic approach focuses on empowering and encouraging individuals through evidence based social work treatment modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational and Psychodynamic Therapy.
I offer live video, phone, and messaging sessions. I usually check messages three times a day, seven days per week. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability, so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first.
I look forward to meeting you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Valerie Harris. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve been working with Ms. Valerie for over a year now and I would describe the experience as insightful. She helps me hold myself accountable for my actions without judgement or bias. I do not enjoy all of the feedback that I get but I do feel that she cares. Recommend for those who want progress and are willing to do the work.
awesome , challenges me in way that encourage growth and positive change
I have immense value and respect for Mrs. Harris and what betterhelp has done for me mentally and allowing me to take classes and talk to Mrs. Harris and just bringing the better version out of myself. I’m still learning I love learning and I just want to thank this app and Mrs. Harris and everyone on here who are doing just a fabulous job thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart you are helping me build a stronger foundation for myself and that is something that I can never repay it’s priceless thank you so much.
We haven't known eachother very long, but I feel like we're making progress each session. I'm beyond happy with my therapist. Amd would highly recommend her. I look forward to learning and continuing life with her help and advice.
She is responsive and helpful. I appreciate her.
My experience with Valerie is positive . She doesn’t hold back and is genuine in helping me grow and love myself. She helps me to show up for myself
I love working with Valerie. Very easy to talk to and connect to. I enjoy our sessions and she has been very helpful working through my feelings and emotions each week. I started coming to her when my life was very stressful and overwhelming and I'm very appreciative that I connected with her when I did. I can see my interactions with others changing after working with her.
Valeria has been a great therapist for the short amount of time that I’ve had the pleasure to talk with her. She was very attentive, understanding, and she gave some good insight… I wish I had the opportunity to tell her this myself Unfortunately I can’t afford this service at the moment Valerie and I apologize for the delay in response but I wasn’t able to communicate with you unless I paid upfront which seems very inconvenient but nonetheless Valerie is a great therapist. And if I get the chance to come back to better help hopefully I can have her again. Thanks for everything
