Harry has been a great help. He is supportive and challenging at the right times. He helps me reflect and grow at a pace that feels healthy and sustainable. I feel heard without judgment, yet encouraged to move towards my best self. It is so valuable to have this space to unpack and examine the parts of my self that otherwise get stowed away in the business of getting through the day. I'm grateful.

When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help my clients who include young adults , couples and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe. Moreover, I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2014.
My approach to therapy is one of deep empathy and exploration. Life is challenging and can bring you overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression. In utilizing mainly psychodynamic approach to therapy, I will work with you to understand and process experiences that are causing you pain and suffering. Through our work together, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, which will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling and gratifying life.
Also, I know that no single approach is the right one for very individual, and so I have been trained in range of other modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Person-centered, Relational, Attachment, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, and Trauma Focused Therapies.
My educational background includes a Master of Arts degree MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. Also, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the California State University, Los Angeles.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wonderful. the first therapist of dozens who has been able to truly create a safe, judgement free zone where I feel capable to discuss anything. Makes me feel excited for healing and enthusiasm for the future. 10/10 stars changing my life
Harry is outstanding. I was unsure of therapy before but gave BetterHelp a try. With Harry's help, I am able to confront parts of myself and really work on me. He has helped me progress and gives me tools to work through life. Harry gives feedback and helps to sharpen those tools every time we meet. I appreciate all he has done for me and look forward to more sessions with him.
Harry has been very friendly and understanding and makes me feel like he genuinely wants to see me grow and change for the better. Very empathetic and engaging!
Harry is a very good hearted person. He has great knowledge about difficult personalities, and is amazingly able to deal with such individuals regularly.
very kind, patient and realistic, cares deeply for his clients, 5 stars!
Great therapist and listens!!!
Harry has quickly identified things I've wanted to work on and help me realize a few epiphanies already. I think his set up (audio/video) is kind of low quality, but other than that everything is great.
