Melissa Harman Counseling, LLC

Learning my own sense of self-worth over the years, both through successes and failures, has lead me to realize I can thrive on my own two feet. I have additionally learned, I do not need to, nor should I, accept poor treatment or diminished value/worth from anyone- including that from larger, impersonal, and unsupportive clinical agencies. Being better able to truly practice healthy self-care and set healthy boundaries for myself, has better abled me to provide quality, ethical, personalized, care for my clients; and this allows me to be more authentic in modeling the same level of self-care, self-worth, and self-love that I want for each of my clients as well.

I don’t believe in a “cookie cutter” approach to counseling/therapy/coaching. I take the time to truly get to know and understand each of my clients’ unique personalities, needs, and learning/growth styles. I believe therapy should take place in an environment of mutual trust, respect, and non-judgment. I approach my clients’ struggles with curiosity and non-judgement and work to increase my clients’ ability to take this same approach in self-discovery. My goal is to help my clients learn the problem solving tools necessary to promote a lifetime of self-autonomy, resilience, happiness, and fulfillment, with positive and healthy relationships, and positive, lasting mental health. I believe it is my job, to put myself out of a job!!!

Yes. Our sessions will occur in an online, HIPAA compliant, video chat room allowing you to access therapy in the comfort and privacy of your own home, or from any location of your choosing.

During the quarantine in 2020, I made the decision to practice 100% online so people could still access the support they very much needed- especially during this confusing, frightening, isolating time. In doing so, I realized the multitude of advantages in practicing virtually and made the decision to maintain a virtual practice ever since!
