Patrice Harris, LPC

Twenty years ago Patrice Harris faced a life she had not planned when her husband left, leaving her to raise a two-year-old daughter and reimagine the future they had pictured since their second year in college. She found a way forward and, through that struggle, built new emotional strengths and a renewed sense of purpose. That purpose led her back to school and, with family support, to earn the degree that qualified her to begin helping others recover and grow. Patrice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that recognizes her training and authorization to provide counseling services.

For more than two decades she has worked with women navigating divorce, adults confronting stage-of-life transitions, and people of all ages seeking to identify strengths, address weaknesses, and move past pain and confusion. Her approach is collaborative - she focuses on building trust and on empowering each person she works with, even when the client initially doubts their own capacity for change. Together they form a two-person team that reframes limiting beliefs, locates resources, and uncovers distorted thoughts that keep progress at bay.

Sessions often include in-session exercises, reference to relevant research and books, and practical steps to connect patterns of belief with real-life change. Patrice brings patience and a steady belief that with informed effort and partnership the problems that feel overwhelming now can become sources of learning and growth. She invites prospective clients to begin the work now and to take steps toward the better future they seek.
