My Approach to Helping
My name is Monique Harris, MA, LPC, LCDC. I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Texas and Michigan. I have 8 years of experience serving children, adolescents, families, and veterans through individual or group therapy, who are dealing with issues that affect their mental health and well-being. More specifically, I address a variety of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), substance use, and personality conditions.
My counseling philosophy includes rational emotive behavior therapy and choice reality therapy, placing emphasis on reshaping core beliefs in individuals experiencing a variety of mental health conditions, thereby empowering them to live full, satisfying lives free from unnecessary psychological distress. I also introduce the concept of choice and functioning in the here and now (reality), helping individuals understand that they have a choice and the power to change, adjust, or enhance whatever it is that they want to alter about themselves, their situation, or circumstances.
My counseling style is compassionate, empathic, non-judgmental, and genuine.
My goal is to empower individuals to live an emotionally resilient, relentless, renewed, and restored lifestyle.
I am looking forward to working with you!
