Patrice Harris

Patrice Harris brings twenty years of clinical experience and a personal history that informs her compassionate approach to therapy. After her husband left when their daughter was two years old, she faced the uncertainty and grief of rebuilding a life and a future that had once seemed secure. Through that struggle she discovered inner strengths, developed emotional resilience, and chose a new purpose - to help others believe they can move from pain, anxiety, or confusion toward greater peace and satisfaction.

Following that turning point, Patrice returned to school and, with family support, completed the education that prepared her to support others in their healing. She is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama (LPC01841) and has spent more than two decades working with women navigating divorce, adults adjusting to life-stage changes, and people of all ages seeking to recognize strengths and address challenges.

Her work begins by establishing trust and honoring the client’s capacity for self-empowerment, even when that confidence is not yet evident. Patrice and each client form a collaborative team that reframes limiting beliefs, identifies resources, and addresses distorted thinking patterns that block progress. Sessions often include practical exercises, references to relevant research and books, and guided reflection to connect beliefs and behaviors in ways that promote change.

Patrice believes that, with a sound knowledge base and a cooperative therapeutic relationship, most problems can be transformed into learning experiences. Over time the issues that feel overwhelming often become memories and sources of growth. She meets clients where they are and works alongside them toward attainable goals.
