Ruth Harris

Counseling Intern

I am currently a student in my final year working toward a Master's Degree in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. My bachelor's degree is in Family Studies (Human Development) from Messiah University. While my training is from a Christian worldview, I am open to seeing clients with any worldview and will not impose my own beliefs on your sessions. If faith is an important part of your life and experience, I am happy to incorporate that into your therapy. I consider it a great privilege to be allowed into people's stories, to hold a safe space for their emotional processing, and to encourage them in their personal growth. My basic approach to counseling is client-centered, with interests in cognitive-based theories, Internal Family Systems, story work, and play therapy. I look forward to working with children, individual adults, couples, and families.
