Harrison West

Hello, I'm Harrison, an energetic and compassionate clinician dedicated to supporting you on your journey to mental wellness. I have a bachelor's degree from Morgan State University and a master's in social work from the University of Maryland. Since 2018, I've been practicing therapy, initially under supervision and now independently as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC since 2021.

Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of working in various settings, including outpatient mental health care facilities, community-based mental health service agencies, and child welfare. My experience spans working with youth, adults, and families, helping them navigate chronic mental health concerns and life's challenges.

I specialize in treating a range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit disorder. Additionally, I have extensive experience supporting individuals dealing with trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also work with disconnected families and couples, helping them find common ground and enhance their relationships.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can feel supported and understood. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology modalities, to help you uncover shame-based narratives and develop self-compassion. Together, we'll work on finding solutions that lead to a better quality of life, both personally and professionally.

When you choose to work with me, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic partnership focused on your progress and well-being. I'm here to support you every step of the way, providing the tools and guidance needed to navigate your unique challenges.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your goals. Let's take this journey together towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
