Therapy for Children, Teens & Adults Facing Depression


w/Breanna Harris LAPC

Are you feeling stuck, like you’re doing everything you can to make things work in your life, but nothing seems to change? Maybe you’ve tried communicating better, being more understanding, or even reading up on attachment styles, but the same conflicts keep coming up, and you’re starting to wonder if it’s something about you that’s holding things back. You’re tired of the anxiety that comes with feeling like you’re just one step away from it all falling apart. You want to get out of this cycle, learn to set boundaries that don’t feel like walls, and finally break free from the old patterns that keep you from having the kind of connection you want.

Welcome, I’m Breanna!

I work with individuals ages 8 and up, supporting those navigating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, past trauma, and overwhelming stress. I also help clients challenge negative self-talk and limiting beliefs so they can begin to feel more at peace and at home within themselves. My priority to promote a safe environment with empathy, active listening, judgement free so that you may feel a sense of safety to express yourself in an authentic way. 


My therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, rooted in the belief that each person holds the wisdom and resilience they need to heal as we work together towards your desires and goals. I also use integrative techniques such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify stuck points,  be able to share your experiences and process them effectively, and develop coping skills and overall enhance your way of living. I believe in tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or continuing your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and empowerment.



My Specialties

  • Self-Esteem & Perfectionism

    Do you feel like no matter how much you achieve, it’s never quite enough? Or maybe you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, feeling like you have to be perfect to be worthy of love and acceptance. I get it—living under that pressure can be exhausting and lonely. Together, we’ll work on letting go of the need to be perfect, rebuilding your self-esteem, and finding value in who you are, not just in what you do. You deserve to feel good about yourself, flaws and all, and I’m here to help you see that.

  • LGBTQ+ Teens

    Being a teen is hard enough without adding the challenges of navigating your identity in a world that doesn’t always understand or accept you. Whether you’re dealing with coming out, finding your place, or handling bullying or anxiety about the future, I’m here to help you feel heard and validated. This is your space to explore who you are, speak openly about your experiences, and build the confidence to live as your authentic self. You deserve to feel proud of who you are, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

  • Premarital & Couples Counseling

    If you’re about to take the next step in your relationship or feel like you’ve hit a rough patch, you might be wondering how to make things work for the long haul. I help couples dig deep into what’s working, what’s not, and how to communicate better, so you’re not repeating the same arguments over and over again. Whether you’re planning for the future or trying to fix what’s broken, we’ll work together to build a relationship where you both feel secure, respected, and loved.

  • Divorce

    Divorce isn’t just an end—it’s also a beginning, and that can be scary. You might be feeling a mix of anger, guilt, relief, or even shame, wondering what’s next and how to move on. I’ll help you process those emotions, rebuild your sense of self, and figure out what you want your life to look like moving forward. You don’t have to go through this alone, and you don’t have to carry the weight of this change forever. Together, we’ll find a way to help you feel whole again.

  • Co-parenting

    Navigating co-parenting can feel like walking on eggshells—trying to keep the peace for your kids while also dealing with your own feelings toward your ex. It’s tough, but it doesn’t have to be a constant battle. I’ll help you find practical ways to communicate without conflict, set boundaries that protect your peace, and make sure your kids feel secure and loved, no matter what. You deserve a co-parenting dynamic that works for everyone involved, especially you.

  • Depression & Anxiety

    Feeling overwhelmed by sadness or anxiety can be isolating, especially when it seems like no one else understands what you’re going through. You’re tired of feeling stuck in your head, questioning everything, or battling that constant low mood that makes everything feel heavier. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s behind these feelings and develop coping strategies that actually work for you, so you can start feeling more like yourself again. You don’t have to keep living under that cloud—let’s find a way through it, together.

Signs We Will Work Well Together

A good way to determine whether or not we would be well matched in our therapeutic relationship is during our free, brief consultation call. You will get to ask me questions about my experience, how change occurs for clients during sessions, and if I have helped others who have dealt with similar situations as yours.

To help you further, here are concerns my clients often have before working with me:

Struggles with not feeling like a "good enough"

Feelings of guilt for not making "good" decisions about relationships and partners

Feeling stuck due to fear of doing the wrong thing

Thinking they are unlovable because of divorce or breakups

Difficulty communicating within their coparenting relationship without arguments

Wanting to avoid passing on past childhood hurts to children

Frustration about relationship options

Constantly beating themselves up

Coping with anxiety and stressors that come along with identifying within the LGBTQIA+ community

My Therapy Approaches

  • Person-Centered Therapy:

    Person-Centered Therapy is all about creating a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. In our sessions, you set the agenda, and I’m here to meet you where you are. This approach is built on the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and that meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely supported and accepted. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping you gain clarity, build self-confidence, and trust in your own ability to navigate life’s challenges.

  • Prepare & Enrich for (Pre)Marial Counseling:

    Prepare and Enrich is a structured, research-based approach designed to help couples—whether they’re newly engaged, married, or simply seeking to improve their relationship—build a stronger foundation. It involves a comprehensive assessment that uncovers your relationship's strengths and areas for growth. From there, we’ll work through tailored exercises and discussions that foster better communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection. This approach isn’t just about identifying problems; it’s about giving you the tools and insights to grow closer, understand each other more deeply, and create the partnership you both desire.
