Valerie Harris
Introduction
Hello and welcome. I'm Valerie Harris, LCSW — a psychotherapist and Health & Wellness Coach dedicated to supporting individuals facing challenges to their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and difficult interpersonal or professional relationships. In our work together, you’ll find a space rooted in empathy, deep listening, and unconditional positive regard. I take a holistic approach to healing—honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit—to help you remove barriers, cultivate resilience, and move forward with clarity and purpose. I’m also the founder of The Makings of You Foundation—a new nonprofit dedicated to healing intergenerational trauma in women, especially Black women, through culturally-rooted practices. Our mission is to create sacred spaces for women to uncover the healing within, release burdens, build resilience, and rise—softer, stronger, and whole—with purpose and joy. Through the foundation, we’ll offer workshops, healing circles, community events, a Healing Playlist, and reflections from my grandmother in a series called Gin’s Words of Wisdom. The website launches soon—and I look forward to inviting you into this expanding circle of care and connection.
