Hi, My name is Heather Harris and I have been working in the social work field for the last 19 years. I have been working specifically with the Veteran population for the past 14 years. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence. I have an undergraduate degree in social work from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX and received my master's in social work in 2004 from the University of Denver. I have experience working in an outpatient behavioral clinic providing therapy for diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. In my clinical practice I use skills from Acceptance and Commitment therapy(ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I have helped many clients with sexual assault trauma, domestic violence trauma, grief and loss, and moral injury and many other issues that have come up on my client's recovery journey.
I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them!

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.
