Beth Harris
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Hi, I’m Beth (she/her). I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that change happens through relationships. It can happen in personal relationships, and it can happen in the therapeutic relationship.
I’m a level two trained Gottman Method couple’s therapist, and I’m also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. But most importantly, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels grounded and collaborative.
I help people who want to work on their relationships and want to pursue personal growth. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with things like anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and communication difficulties.
A quote from Ken Gergen guides my work. He said “Life is about relationships, and people are relational beings. Therefore, therapy, as relational recovery, is important.”

Want to Know More About the Approaches I Use?
The Gottman Method
This is a research-based approach to couples therapy. We’ll use structured exercises and honest conversations to explore conflict patterns, emotional connection, and communication. The goal is to help you understand what’s really happening in your relationship—and learn how to turn toward each other again with more curiosity, not criticism.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy focuses on core emotional needs in relationships. We’ll work to identify reactive cycles and create more secure emotional bonds. It’s especially effective for couples who want to feel more connected, supported, and safe with each other.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you become more aware of thought patterns that lead to distress. If you often spiral, catastrophize, or feel stuck in negative self-talk, CBT gives you tools to pause, question those thoughts, and begin to shift them in a more supportive direction.
