About me

I am licensed in Michigan with many years of professional Clinical Therapy experience. I was a High High School Guidance Counselor for years before making the switch to Community Mental Health. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, depression, and anxiety. I work with my clients to create a caring, accepting and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Life can be challenging. Being young and trying to figure it all out to make it make sense is hard. I want to help you develop the capacity to handle whatever issues you face. I am sincere and caring and will work with you to help you reach your goals so that you can live your best life. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joyce Harris. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

I am a productive and creative academic with 30+ years experience. But I hit a bump in the road with a daunting new project and was beset by imposter syndrome. Anxiety and paralysis began to undermine the whole undertaking, and worse, I was dimming my own shining light. Twelve weeks out from my deadline, struggling between first and second drafts, I decided to try teen counseling and was connected to Therapist Joyce Harris. Working with Joyce transformed my whole experience: she created a space for me to give voice to (and challenge) my critical inner disruptor and to reframe my dread of vulnerability. She and I were very well matched, better than the algorithm might have predicted, and really connected around challenges for women navigating in high pressure fields. Joyce is very skilled in this area, and was instrumental in helping me break through to express my ideas and research with confidence. Happy ending to this story: my manuscript was received with rave feedback. But even before that feedback had been communicated, on deadline day when I submitted the completed draft, I felt really proud of my scholarship as a genuine reflection of my unique contribution to my field. That feeling is everything. Thank you, Joyce... I am so appreciative of your support on this journey to try scary things, get help along the way, and claim space.

Joyce has helped my son tremendously. She is great at communicating with me as a parent when I ask questions. I would pick her again.

Work with me!
