Telisa Dawn Pharris

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW,LCSW,CCSOTS & Co Owner

I utilize an all-encompassing approach to therapy that is somatic, and mindfulness informed. I believe that therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist. I want to create an environment that is safe, nurturing, that is open and authentic; where the client can be seen with unconditional positive regard and receptiveness. An even better way to look at it is that while working with a client I understand that they are doing the best they can with the tools they have. By having this mindset, it allows for you to express openly your feelings, beliefs and behaviors.

My specialties are in dealing with individuals who have anger issues; truama,addictions such as chronically problematic sexual behaviors, porn, and/or co-occurring disorders. I currently work with young children and adults who suffer with severe mental health issues such as schizoaffective, bioploar, schizophrenia and sex offenders and their victims.
