Maureen Harris , LMHC

Maureen Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She has worked across outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment clinics, inpatient substance abuse programs, college counseling centers, group counseling, life coaching, and care management, bringing a broad clinical background to each therapeutic relationship.

Her work emphasizes meeting people where they are and honoring the autonomy of each person in the counseling process. She blends practical skill-building with empathic support, offering concrete tools to help clients find relief while encouraging them to take the lead in setting goals and pacing change. Clinically she draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, client-centered therapy to provide nonjudgmental support and unconditional acceptance, and motivational interviewing to tap into existing strengths and motivation for change.

Maureen works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, grief, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, workplace challenges, self-esteem and self-love, seasonal affective disorder, and questions about life purpose. She also has experience with LGBT concerns and coaching for career and personal growth. Maureen views mental health as essential to overall well-being and is committed to supporting growth and resilience. She is not currently accepting new clients.
