Valerie Harris MSW, LCSWA
​
I earned my Social Work degrees from Troy University and am a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, and trauma. I believe that each person's journey is unique, which is why I take a person-centered approach to therapy. By building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and empowering them to take an active role in their own healing, I create a safe and supportive environment for them to explore their thoughts and emotions. I incorporate evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Integrative Therapy. By combining different therapeutic modalities, I am able to tailor my approach to each client's individual needs and goals.

I earned both a Bachelor's degree in General Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from East Tennessee State University. I have worked with a wide array of ages and mental health struggles throughout my time training in both inpatient and outpatient mental health centers. I believe that humanity possesses a wonderful capability for growth, change, and understanding which I do my utmost to tap into with both my clients and myself. I prefer to operate with methods stemming from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and more, depending on the needs of my clients. Most of all, I want to create a space where my clients can be heard without judgement and find their way through life's many struggles and joys.
