My name is Stephanie Harnish and I am a License Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York State. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with experience working with adult and children. My experience is in providing trauma -informed, trauma focused therapy. I have been providing therapy for the last 10+ years, primary in outpatient mental health programs focused on person-centered recovery. I also have experience in private practice.

My nonjudgmental and accepting personality allows an ability to promote and develop a positive therapeutic alliance with the individual I am working with, for an effective therapeutic relationship. I focus on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy to provide assistance to individuals in overcoming past traumatic experiences that are affecting current individual functioning, for the purpose of promoting positive change and recovery.

I have focused on diagnosis such as: Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Attachment, Anger Management, stress- anxiety,

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.
