James R Harris

My psychotherapy with adult individuals and couples is active and collaborative. We begin with discussing what precipitated your visit and attempt to understand why you are where you are from a perspective that is developmental and non-pathologizing. As an individual and couples therapist, I am skilled at weighing the relative contributions of what is within an individual and what is between individuals and within troubled relationships. Our work is both experiential and insight-oriented. I use my training in family systems, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic models to provide you with greater understanding and to recommend changes in behavior. I model for you new and more effective ways of interacting with others. Certified in both EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I often introduce an experiential component that enriches your work and our collaboration. I also tap into a network of colleagues when we agree that additional assessment would enhance my work with you.
