Have you ever been slightly or drastically beyond the reach of accessing the language to express our human experiences? 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. Creative, natural, and legal influences likely are further incorporated along our therapeutic journey. Frederic Chopin noted, “Simplicity is the final achievement."
Please feel free to contact me to schedule an initial meeting. We can briefly discuss your concerns and whether we can build a therapeutic alliance. Your consideration is essential, so please be well.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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
