"I have a passion for working with children and adolescents. I prefer to see children from age four and up. Many children I see have some of these issues: defiance, tantrums, trauma, anxiety, mood instability, and attachment. I also love working with parents and believe that family therapy is just as important as individual therapy."

"I believe that we all have issues and struggles in life and there are times when we need a trained professional counselor to help us navigate through life's storms. My philosophy is that every person is responsible to create meaning in their lives and to fulfill our potential as human beings. My approach is empathetic and non-judgmental. It is my goal with every individual, every couple and every family to help facilitate peace, joy and a sense of fulfillment in their lives."

"The poet Mary Oliver writes, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" This comes close to summing up my approach to life and to therapy. People who come to therapy are yearning for real growth and change, and my goal is to help them get there. I use an integrative, mindfulness-based approach to address a wide range of clients and issues. My goal is for every person who walks through my door to leave feeling more whole, hopeful, and healthy than when he or she arrived."

"My approach is strengths-based, collaborative and integrative--with adolescents, adults, seniors, families, and couples. Many of my clients have been highly traumatized, sometimes w/complex PTSD &/or dissociative disorders. Other issues include depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, substance use and/or addictions; domestic conflict; need for parenting education and support; compromised physical health/chronic pain issues, onset of dementia, grief about aging & general grief/loss. Our goals include [trauma] recovery with expanded social, medical and mental health supports."

""Making the decision to be vulnerable with a therapist takes courage. I embrace helping others with compassion and work collaboratively to make change; mindful that redefining and moving through life can be daunting. Struggling with substance abuse, trauma, mood, relationships, or life's adjustments, each individual, couple, and family is treated with kindness and respect. Being defined by life circumstances and changing this worldview is possible with support. Holistically, each one of us is unique and no one truly experiences life like that of another. However, one commonality we all share -is the need to belong and matter. Namaste""

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been a practicing therapist and university professor for close to 30 years. My interests and specialties focus on couples and individual therapy. My clients are high-functioning and are generally experiencing life transitions, relational difficulties, communication issues, stress, career, or general life concerns. More often than not, clients present with anxieties, sexual issues, decreased goals, diminished hopefulness, feelings of guilt, anger, and resentment, miscommunications, and/or a belief of existing rather than living. Please visit my website at tomharrisonphdmft@gmail.com if you would like more detailed information. Thank you."

"I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and use a family systems approach when working with my clients. Even when working with individuals in therapy, their families and relationships, past and current, are a key component in their daily lives. I believe it is important to explore one's relationships, interpersonally and intrapersonally, to assist them with their unique life experiences and challenges."

"I treat people who have any combination of addiction, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, and/or codependency. We can become addicted to a drug, a person, a behavior (spending, gambling, Internet, gaming). More info on website, including questions to consider if you think you or a loved one has problems with substance abuse, addiction, or codependency."

"Are you having difficulties in your life: depression, anxiety, weight issues, chronic pain, grief, anger, sexual issues, career, finances, low self-esteem, health, relationship issues, PTSD? Don't give up. Stop the vicious cycles of fear, anger, sadness, confusion and uncertainty. Together we develop an action plan designed uniquely for you, so you can resolve the issues, move forward, and feel empowered, at your highest and best. I am a graduate of UC Berkeley and UCSF Medical Center, with more than 30 years of experience."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been practicing psychotherapy in the Reno area since 2001. I have a diverse background of experience working with adults, adolescents and children with serious mental illnesses and severe emotional disturbances."

"With over 30 years experience working with families, couples, and individuals, I have indepth knowledge about strengthening relationships, utilizing one's personal and family resiliency, improving self efficacy and empowering people to find their personal path and voice. Many of my clients are dealing with the aftermath of addiction, loss, trauma, violence, and betrayal. I attempt to assist people to understand the jigsaw puzzle of life in order to feel, think, and behave more congruently with their inner self while improving their significant relationships."

"Everyone has a right to seek a happy and healthy life, and seeking help from a counselor is an act of hope towards doing that. I help individuals reclaim their direction in life, identify the issues that are holding them back, and overcome the struggles that are interfering with their happiness. If you are in need of support, please contact me."

"CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE. I'm passionate about helping people truly thrive in life, not just survive. Mood disorders like depression and anxiety are far too common, can completely rob life of its joy, and yet are successfully treatable through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapy. In my work with parents, I focus on adjusting to this new season and intentionally crafting the life that you want as the "new parent" you. Sometimes that involves mourning losses before we can move forward. And because mood disorders (combined with a new baby) can make it hard to get out of the house, I'll come to you."

"Would you like to enjoy more harmonious, secure, and passionate relationships with the important people in your life? There's nothing worse than a failing relationship and no pain like a broken heart. In a safe and supportive environment, let me help you address and resolve the obstacles that prevent you from creating the relationships and the life you desire. Although I have helped many couples in distress, the most important relationship is the one we have with our self! If that isn't right, nothing works!"

"I help individuals and couples learn to change the way they think about problems to create better, healthier, happier lives. I can show you how to replace negative beliefs that may be hampering your personal growth and relationships, so that you can communicate clearly and constructively. In addition to looking at negative thinking styles I believe bodily symptoms sometimes offer powerful clues to un-felt emotions and unresolved injuries and losses."

"My goal for each client is to help them get un-stuck. Whether you are a teenager struggling with self-esteem and depression, an adult struggling with anxiety and negative self-talk seeping in from past relationships, or a family struggling with parenting issues, poor communication, problem behaviors, and environmental stressors, I believe my background and training are well suited to assist in positively affecting change. I have experience as both an inpatient and outpatient therapist and feel the combination of these two worlds gives me a unique set of skills to serve you."

"A native of Illinois, I moved to Reno after 35 years in Southern California. I love the change of seasons and the strong sense of community. I love the fact that the people here are very welcoming and friendly. As the city grows, so does the need for experienced mental health providers. I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, Urbana and went to California State University, Long Beach, for my MSW. I had been very active in organizational community services, and saw a great need for helping a somewhat invisible population of aging adults."

"As a seasoned therapist, I treat of wide-range of emotional and relationship problems for individuals, couples and families. By providing a safe environment and collaborative stance, I utilize an integrative approach that privileges your unique life journey and brings to bear my extensive training and experience as a therapist. I'm real, I'm honest, but I'm sensitive to the fact that life is difficult and I haven't walked in your shoes.Together, we work toward change to bring you increased joy, peace and success in your day to day life."

"I explain to clients that I do not do 'Smile and Nod Therapy'. At the end of each session you can expect much more than me checking the time and giving assurances that you are making progress. My approach is to work with you collaboratively. I will ask about the issues you are bringing to therapy and what your goals are. I will be giving you feedback and hopefully at the end of each session there will be some new ideas and strategies that have made it to the table."
