Welcome! My name is Craig Harris. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) currently providing telehealth services. I currently work with adult individuals (all age ranges). I do not currently work with anyone under the age of 18, do not offer family or couples counseling. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental and supportive environment for you to find a path to a healthier, more fulfilling life. I am passionate about working with people to improve their lives. I am a huge believer that a good connection is the foundation of good therapy. I currently work at a Level 1 Trauma Center as an Emergency Department Crisis Social Worker. I am inspired every day to help patients and their families cope with traumatic injuries and mental health crises. I do have extensive experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, work stress, addiction & chronic pain. I have also worked in a variety of mental health settings (outpatient, community based, in-home services and residential treatment programs). I have worked with children, adults and families in a variety of settings for over 20 years. I combine understanding and empathy with a straight forward, strength-based and solution-focused approach. I am here to help you reach your goals and improve your relationships with your family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and most importantly yourself. I look forward to speaking with you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am trained in different evidence based practices (e.g. Strength-Based, Solution-Focused Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness) to tailor my interventions for every person’s unique circumstances. I am a huge fan of Brene Brown and incorporate pertinent themes when trying to find solutions for many of our life's challenges. I will share Brene Brown's researched, proven techniques for learning how to become our authentic, true selves.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my personal struggles has involved over a decade of chronic pain. As a result, I have a first hand understanding of how this profoundly impacts our life, our mood, our anxiety and our relationships. Chronic pain is so much more than just physical suffering. I know chronic pain is real. I have lived it and I have found techniques and solutions that can improve your life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Adults 18 to 64 experiencing anxiety, depression, struggling with various psychosocial stressors (including work stress and chronic pain, health issues).
