Dana Harris, LMFT

Hi, I’m Dana. I help individual adults, couples, and families navigate difficult feelings, identify and change negative or unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, and overcome challenging situations in order to enjoy a more peaceful mind and a happier life.

My clinical experience includes working as an MFT Trainee at The Center for Professional Counseling in Los Angeles, CA from 2016 to 2017, as a Counselor at Baart Systems, Inc., a methadone clinic in Los Angeles, CA from 2017 to 2018, and as a Behavioral Health Therapist at Homeless Health Care in Los Angeles, CA from 2018 to 2020. Since 2018, I have also worked as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice through Dana M. Harris Therapy.

I work with adults of all ages, couples in traditional and non-traditional relationships, families, and others in close relationships. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and couples therapy. I am LGBTQIA+-friendly, sex- and kink-positive, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I have experience working with neurodiverse clients, as well as individuals and couples engaging in or exploring alternative lifestyles and relationships.

My approach is open, casual, and collaborative. I strive to maintain a space that is truly free of judgment, where all my clients can feel fully accepted, seen, and supported. Sessions with me feel like talking with a friend who is warm and supportive, but also not afraid to be honest and direct.

I hope clients enjoy a more peaceful mind and feel capable, strong, and resilient. Together, we will work to build on your strengths, ease your presenting symptoms, unpack your baggage, and transform the self-limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you.

As an East Coast transplant, Jersey, baby, I am warm yet direct, and I strive to bring humility, empathy, compassion, and especially humor to all of my client interactions. Outside of my work, I am passionate about rescue dogs and travel.
