Cathy S Harris, LCSW

Welcome

Are you ready to move beyond the effects of trauma or cult membership? Perhaps you are seeking to improve relationships or finish your education or engage in work that you love. Working with plant medicine or Ketamine may support your journey. I offer a warm, supportive environment for exploring your concerns and I am convinced that you can reach your goals. I know that this work is sometimes difficult, but it is 'do-able' with the right support! My practice is inclusive and ready to help.

About

My trauma-informed approach has evolved out of my own life history. Growing up in a traumagenic family and then, surviving 26 years' membership in a cultish religion has given me lived experience that informs my coaching and counseling work with clients. I offer many tools for doing the work, including trauma-informed Cognitive work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), SoulCollage®, Somatic awareness work, breathing techniques, creative writing, guided meditation and much more. These tools are used in the context of "the art of therapy". I believe that tools cannot help without a warm, compassionate relational environment. I strive to offer this in the online setting.

Other Areas of Focus

Therapy Types

Modalities are only as effective as the therapeutic relationship we develop. Without trust, safety and mutual respect, even the most sophisticated techniques won't be very helpful. When the relationship is steady and attuned, the tools we use will have a solid foundation.
