Meet Gale Harris, LCSW
“My job, as I see it, is not to fix you, but to help you fix yourself. To do that, I help you find the tools you already have and remind you that - on some deep level - you already know how to use them. My approach is cognitive, because I believe the way we think about our lives helps create them. I am an LCSW with over 25 years of experience working with adults as individuals, as couples, and as part of a family system. I have worked with angry people, individuals with transgender and sexual orientation issues, and older adults dealing with loss.If you are ready to tackle the challenges and take charge of your life, I'm ready to help. Together we can find the path to your personal brand of happiness.”
