Lydia Harris
MSW intern
I understand that life's challenges can be overwhelming and hard to navigate through. I believe that connecting with our inner selves and core values is a way to develop psychological flexibility and empower us to overcome those challenges.
I am committed to providing a safe non-judgmental space where you can explore all your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether you are dealing with the weight of anxiety, the fog of depression, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm here to support you individually in building resilience, developing effective coping strategies, and achieving a greater sense of peace of fulfillment in your life.
I also want to help you explore your inner world and understanding/healing the different parts of yourself that may be contributing to your struggles. Together, we can work towards creating lasting change and fostering a more meaningful and empowered life!
"When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible."
