I am trained in a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities which include: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy (SFT), EMDR (trauma focused therapy), play therapy and expressive arts therapy. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples who have emotional and/or behavioral challenges and I practice within a strength-based, person-centered supportive approach. As a clinician, I work in collaboration with the client to build confidence, end generational cycles, and learn coping skills to enhance all areas of their lives. My aim is to help individuals learn how to relate to others in a healthy way and offer compassionate care for the emotionally wounded.

Shean Harris MA, LCMHC
I am a graduate in Clinician Counseling with North Carolina A&T University. My beginning journey started in 2001 as an Active-Duty Veteran working with community health and wellness programs as well as programs for mentoring and helping children, youth, and adults through sports and fitness/ wellness outlets. I have an extensive background and experience working with trauma and crisis. I have learned that a crisis is personal to each individual and that one can never truly know what a person is going through. Also, since the beginning of COVID-19, I have learned that trauma and other mental health symptoms can surface as we strive to adapt and overcome in our daily lives. My counseling approaches and methods range from Person-Centered, Play Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care models.
