Joel Harris
(He/Him/His)
Psychologist, Psychotherapist
Hello! I am a licensed psychologist with immediate openings for virtual therapy. I am also licensed through PsyPact and can see people in over 40 states.
Hi! I'm Joel. I know it can be hard to search for a therapist, I'm glad you're doing the work! I hope you are able to connect with someone who can help. I've worked in mental health for nearly 25 years, in shelters, hospitals, as a school counselor, among other settings. I deeply value learning your experience of the world, and cultural background to ensure your treatment will meet your unique goals and identity. These are difficult times that can be stressful, and it can be hard to know what the future holds. I am a person of color (Seneca/Haudenosaunee) with autoimmune issues, from a high-stress academic background. Accordingly, I may have personal experiences that inform my training as well. Please reach out if you feel I may be helpful on your path. Thank you for reading my profile, and I sincerely wish you the best in finding who you are looking for.
