Falasade Harris has been a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) for over three years and a certified School Counselor for ten years in the state of New Jersey. She specializes in working with young adults and women with an emphasis on black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Her areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, life transitions, and personal development.
How do you become a better version of yourself? That is the question she wants to help you find the answer to. There are many challenges we face throughout our lives, which can impact us greatly. As a counselor, Falasade wants to help you navigate these challenges and move forward on the journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
While difficult times are not always avoidable, how we react to them will determine how we are able to move beyond them. She utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help examine how the beliefs you may have about yourself and your external world impact behavior.
When Falasade is not counseling, she enjoys all things beauty (especially hair styling), cooking, reading, listening to music, and spending time with loved ones. She is always striving for peace, gratitude, and growth.
