Nicole Harris

Nicole Harris

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression
  • Trauma-related experiences
  • Grief and loss
  • Burnout and compassion fatigue
  • Life transitions
  • Self-Esteem
  • Relationship and family patterns

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding a therapist in Philadelphia starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Philadelphia has a large community of licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists — including providers across Center City, South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and the Northeast — so narrowing your search by specialty, availability, and session format (virtual or in-person) can help you find someone who fits.

Beyond clinical fit, practical factors matter too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions close to your neighborhood or the flexibility of virtual visits. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and approach, and many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good match before committing to a session.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be expensive without coverage, and out-of-pocket costs can vary significantly. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
