About Susan
She prefers a straightforward, person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on building practical skills. Clients can expect clear conversation, goal-setting, and step-by-step practice of new coping tools.
Dr. Harris uses a mix of methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is chosen to match each person's needs rather than follow a single script. Treatment often addresses emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle factors together.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, helps identify priorities, and then introduces techniques for managing symptoms such as low mood, worry, or cravings. Over time the focus is on improving daily routines, managing intense feelings, and strengthening self-care skills.
People who come for help with depression or related issues will find a clinician who balances empathy with practical steps. Dr. Harris aims to make therapy useful and applicable to everyday life, with attention to the specific challenges each person brings.
