Denetta Harris
First of all, I grew up in poverty with a single mom, who unfortunately died over 30 years ago. As a result this made me very empathetic to issues we face due to lower socio-economic status, issues facing women, racial issues, trauma, and definitely grief.
A dynamic therapist who is doing what she can to make a positive change in this world. She is helping her clients reach their best possible potential, so that those clients can ripple the positive effects of their therapeutic experiences out to others.
I have worked with clients of various backgrounds clinically with a focus on Trauma Informed Care, along with my experience as a long time social worker. I am a mother of 2 adult children, and a grandmother. I love spending time with them and my friends. I am a very spiritual person who loves spending time in church and meditating. I am also very open minded and love working with clients from all walks of life, and love learning from them. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years, but I've been a social worker for 30. My hobbies includes tending my gardens, one of which is a pollinator garden, binging tv shows, walking in nature, and doing crafts.
First session
During our first session it is important for me that you feel comfortable, open, and accepted so that you can share why you wanted to have this time with me. We will review your questionnaires, begin your assessment, and come up with a plan to help you get to your best self possible.
Strengths
My greatest strength is that building rapport is very important to me. I understand that there has to be a level of trust in order for you to be open with me. So I will do my best to help with this as we build our therapeutic relationship. I also ask that you be open and honest with me so that we can be a team in your treatment.
Ideal clients
I work well with women or individuals who identify as women. Women have so many issues we are managing and love helping them work through them. Many women have issues related to sexism, trauma, and relating to their families, and I do have much experience with that not only professionally, but personally and I can definitely assist women with managing all of these issues. I have much experience working with women who have endured post partum depression, and how this impacts not onky themselves, but how they bond with their baby.I also have much experience working with clients in managing grief. I love working with clients and providing psychoeducation about what they are dealing with.
