Do you sometimes believe you are stagnated among similar patterns of relationships with yourself and others? Are there any stressful events that have occurred or you anticipate? We all have exceptional periods, good days, and not-so-good moments. I cheerfully encourage you to be you as we work together to safely enhance your authenticity.
With incremental psychoeducation, individualized acceptance, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral evidence-based practices are significant components in treatment.

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.

Brian's sense of humor has helped make discussing difficult issues very easy, and he has a very pleasant personality as well
Any initial concerns I had about starting therapy and during a crisis soon dissapated and I could not not have wanted for a better therapist. Thank you so much Brian.
I love how understanding and patient they are of me and others. I feel like I’m being gently challenged to be a better person at the same time that I am being recognized for my progress and where I am now
I am so glad I was connected with Dr. Harris. He is a great listener and therapist and definitely understands my mental health concerns and has wonderful feedback and suggestions to support a healthier lifestyle.
Mr. Harris is an "active" listener (hearing vs. responding). He is knowledgeable, kind, caring, and provides insight to help navigate each situation/area of need as it arises in my grief journey. He provides additional resources that are very helpful and relevant. He provides a great example of what therapy should be.
Very helpful and challenges me to get to the bottom of what ever it is we are doing!
Brian does a great job of helping me challenge my own way of thinking which is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. Changing my perspective has worked wonders in resolving anxiety in the moment. He’s also great at helping me work through some of my ADHD tendencies to go too fast and forget. He slows me down and helps me refocus and revisit. It’s been incredibly impactful to work with him.
Brian is a great therapist
