Welcome to Essential Voice Therapy. I am Hadiya Harris, MA, a Mental Health Counselor-LP based in New York. I commend you for your interest in working with me to learn and grow in a mental health therapeutic space. With my discernment and fuel, I ensure that individuals working with me understand their voice is essential. Therapy is not just a space to express one’s challenges but also a practice of knowing and understanding yourself.

My therapeutic approach is anchored in helping others become the highest version of themselves and discusses how to embody that. Together, we are creating goals and applying evidence base practices to work through life transitions and promote wellness effectively. Together, we will explore grounding techniques and provide a space to express your identity to find actions and emotions that best value you.  

I earned a Masters’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from the University of the District of Columbia. I am experienced in exploring topics such as Self Esteem, Relationships, Anxiety, Trauma, Effective Communication, Depression, and Crisis work. I have enjoyed providing mental health resources to individuals, families, and groups within child, adolescent, and adult populations(10+). In addition to applying evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions to treat symptoms associated with various concerns, such as sexual violence, suicidal ideations, negative thoughts, hallucinations, and delusions.
