MALISE HAROLD, LPC

Many people want their counselor to know and share their basic core beliefs and feel supported on their journey to lessen the distance between their values and behaviors. The main difference between going to a secular counselor or to a faith-based one is that, with the latter, you know my core values and may come to work with me because you share them. I believe that counseling and psychotherapy can be most effective when using one’s core values and the strength of one’s faith. Since I work from a Catholic faith-based model, I am also letting my clients know that I accept the teachings of the Catholic Church.

I work with my clients using a cognitive-behavioral approach in order to explore thought patterns and perspectives that may be keeping the individual caught in an unhealthy place. I help clients challenge their perspectives and develop new healthier ones. I also work with virtue building to help clients become the best and happiest versions of themselves.
