Prof. Elnora Harrison, LMHC

Prof. Elnora Harrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with more than 35 years of experience in human services, behavioral health, and community mental health. She applies a broad background in mental health counseling and community psychology to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and other life transitions.

Earlier certification in alcohol and substance abuse counseling (CASAC) informed her work with diverse clients who used substances to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression, and to navigate complicated social determinants of health. Race-based harm and unhealed intergenerational or family trauma are central concerns in her practice, and she incorporates decolonization therapy when it fits a client’s needs. She is committed to cultural humility, respect, and compassion in every therapeutic relationship.

Prof. Harrison works collaboratively with each person to shape the conversation and design a treatment plan tailored to specific goals - whether addressing attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, or grief and life purpose. She aims to support people as they take the often courageous first steps toward greater well-being.

Decolonization-Informed and Evidence-Based Online Care

Prof. Elnora Harrison integrates decolonization therapy into her work to address race-based and intergenerational family trauma. This approach attends to the historical and cultural contexts that can shape emotional pain and helps clients explore healing paths that honor identity and collective experience.

She also employs evidence-based counseling strategies grounded in mental health counseling and community psychology to support stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief. These practical techniques focus on coping skills, emotional processing, and improving communication and problem solving in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Prof. Harrison works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so treatment fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Prof. Harrison offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into work, family, and caregiving schedules. These options increase accessibility and let clients continue consistent therapeutic work from wherever they are located within the permitted service area.
