~ about me ~

Hello! My name is Sabina Harris and I have a virtual private practice. I identify as a Mixed African American cis-gendered female and I use pronouns she/her. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (LMFT CA #52851) and Oregon (LMFT OR #T3096). I obtained my Masters of Science in Counseling degree in 2008 and became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in 2013. I have worked in various counseling settings that have allowed me to gain experience working within various support systems and community resources to provide case management services and therapeutic support. These experiences have allowed me to attend to the needs of the whole person in my clients. I have worked in outpatient settings, schools, and juvenile hall providing group, individual, and family therapy. I also provided managerial and therapeutic services in a residential setting for homeless youth ages 16-21 years old, which opened up the opportunity for me to expand my skills in "thinking outside the box" to meet the various needs of individuals.  

~ who i work with ~

My practice is designed for executives, founders, high-achievers, and creators ready to build a new equilibrium. I specialize in working individually with adults of all life stages and more specifically those who identify as BIPOC or from any ethnic background. I provide a safe and clinical space to untangle who you are from what you produce and from expectations. We look past surface stress to focus on deep psychological recalibration and cultivating a steady sense of self.

~ how i work ~

I operate under the Humanistic Therapy approach and can utilize many forms of therapeutic treatments under this approach. As a humanistic therapist, I look at the person as a whole, emphasizing on an individual's positive traits and behaviors, and their ability to use their personal instincts to find wisdom, growth, healing, and fulfillment within themselves. I am in the process of receiving training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and am amazed to see the positive results from this approach. I also enjoy utilizing approaches such as Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), among others that may be useful for my client. I believe in working with clients together as equals in their journey, while providing a space of support, understanding, and trust without any judgement.  

I would be honored to help you in your journey! Feel free to contact me to see how we can work together.
