Valerie Harris

Hello and welcome. I’m Valerie Harris, LCSW, CADC—a psychotherapist and Health & Wellness Coach committed to helping people heal, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose. Through VHarris Holistic Health Solutions, I offer two distinct pathways: psychotherapy and Purpose & Legacy Coaching. In psychotherapy, I support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance-use concerns, and difficult personal or professional relationships. Our work is grounded in empathy, deep listening, and unconditional positive regard. I use a holistic approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit while helping clients address emotional barriers, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. Purpose & Legacy Coaching is designed especially for women navigating a transition or uncertain season of life. You may be rebuilding after a loss, reconsidering your career or identity, moving through recovery, approaching retirement, or wondering what comes next. Together, we explore what your present season is teaching you, identify patterns you are ready to release, reclaim the strengths and wisdom within your lived experiences, and prepare for your next chapter with intention. Purpose & Legacy Coaching is a goal-directed, non-clinical service that is separate from psychotherapy. It does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions and is offered as a private-pay service. I am also the founder of The Makings of You Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to addressing intergenerational trauma in women, especially Black women, through culturally rooted healing practices. Its mission is to create sacred spaces for women to uncover the healing within, release burdens, build resilience, and rise—whole—with purpose and joy. Whether you are seeking psychotherapy to support your healing or coaching to help clarify what comes next, I welcome the opportunity to learn more about where you are and where you hope to go.
