Hello! I am Deena Harbaugh. My practice focuses on adults struggling with the aftereffects of incest/sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, trauma, family of origin issues, divorce, marriage conflict, and LGBTQ issues.

I am a bilingual psychologist who is passionate about offering people a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which to grow and explore themselves. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative experience where the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change and growth. As my clients experience those uncomfortable "growth spurt" moments, I aim to support them by modeling authenticity and encouraging them to practice patience and acceptance with themselves. It is my personal belief that therapy can not only lead to symptom reduction, but also to greater personal satisfaction and inner tranquility.

Every day feels like a rollercoaster of worry, and you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking relief in distractions? You’ve poured everything into helping loved ones, only to hit a frustrating wall? Your mind is a battleground of conflicting thoughts, making decisions and changes seems not worth the fight? Tasks pile up, and the idea of starting to tackle them is overwhelming you? Wearing a mask, even with yourself, becomes a necessity to feel somewhat okay? Strong emotions trigger panic or self-harm, and the pain or numbness feels easier in the dark places? Things you used to love no longer bring joy, and even laughter feels empty?

Are you feeling unsure about how to handle new situations or resolve old problems? Feeling beaten down or overwhelmed by life? Do you feel as though your emotional imbalance is getting in the way of relationships, work, or your physical health? Working with an experienced professional can help you navigate the ups and downs on your life's path with more ease and acceptance, allowing you to make positive, lasting changes. My practice offers psychotherapy and wellness presentations for adults seeking greater clarity, balance, and contentment in their lives. Are you curious to see what changes could happen for you?

I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, and I am eager to work with all clients wishing to grow, particularly in their relationships. I focus on all of the things that come together to make people who they are and utilize relational cultural theory (RCT). This means work with me tends to be more personal, as a means to help you grow in relationships. During trying times, I help individuals manage loneliness, grief, anxiety, depression, and other personal issues. In supervision of LPC Associates I utilize RCT and systems theories or others to meet the needs of their work. I teach doctoral and master’s students.

Please note I am NOT in-network with ANY insurance. I am licensed in Texas (for in-person and virtual appointments) and Arkansas (for virtual appointments only). We'd be a great fit if you: have an eating disorder/disordered eating and are ready to make progress with recovery, are navigating leaving the church or the after effects of leaving, are looking to do EMDR to address trauma or negative life experiences or beliefs, or are a professional looking to find some work/life balance. I also love working with the LGBTQIA+ community and with those who have chronic illness/chronic pain.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms your identities, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity, work through relationship stressors or body image/eating issues, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Through understanding comes healing and growth. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, trauma, or emotional pain. I want you to live a life of true happiness and find meaning in work, family, friendships, and all areas of life. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life challenges you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I am a licensed clinical social worker offering virtual therapy to individuals in Texas and Louisiana. My specialities lie in working with survivors of trauma, abuse and assault, LGBTQIA+ adults and teens, and those experiencing chronic illness. As a queer person myself, I value knowing I can access therapy from a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. My job is to meet you where you are and assess how your feelings, experiences, and the systems we live in impact how you make sense of the world. Learning about ourselves in such a way impacts the way we navigate our lives, for the better.

Therapy is a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-learning and exploration. My role as a therapist is to provide this space for you and help guide you towards healing and growth. This can look different for everyone. Perhaps you are feeling lost and without purpose or overwhelmed with change and anxiety. In this journey together we can tackle trouble coping, relational issues, building self-esteem and self-compassion, and finding meaning. Let's learn about you and what eases your mind!

Breakthrough to a more satisfying life. Are you emotionally exhausted by a pattern of working hard for others but find yourself unsatisfied, depressed or anxious? Are you stuck in negative thoughts and feelings or are going through a transition where you desire more insight or practical and healthy solutions? Are you ready to know a more meaningful and vital life but seem to be overwhelmed by external stressors? Consider bringing your life back into color with a compassionate and non judgmental therapist.

If you feel like there's a lot going on in the world, whether in your personal life or in our many communities at large, I'd like to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental, real, and affirming space for you to just be. My approach is trauma-informed, CBT, person-centered, identity empowering, relational, and engages expression and the arts. Our process will be collaborative and interactive to whatever goals you define for yourself. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or relational stressors, I can help you explore your needs, motivations, and interests while supporting you in finding control within your life's story.

I help couples have great sex! As a couple, you've conquered every aspect of life, yet when it comes to sex and intimacy, you're struggling. Despite your attempts to mend things independently, you find yourselves trapped in an endless loop of frustration and avoidance. You crave a deeper sexual connection with your partner, but the constant arguments and misunderstandings have left you feeling disconnected and distant. You know that sex is an issue. You know that you need solutions for your sex life but, you are not sure where to go or where to start.

Hello! I am one of the founders of I AM Therapy. As the daughter of immigrants, I understand first hand the importance of representation in any space and the challenges that come with looking for the American dream. That is why I am so passionate about providing mental health services to the Hispanic/Latin and BIPOC community whether that be in English or Spanish. This includes working with clients with trauma backgrounds such as domestic violence, growing up in an abusive home, immigration trauma, life transitions, grief, religious trauma, depression, and anxiety.

All we have to be in the world is kind and brave. Really. And I believe you can do that. Have you ever felt like you were walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel like no matter what you do it is wrong from your partner's perspective? You shouldn't have to feel like this in your relationship. No one should have to feel afraid of the person they love. If you have begun to feel down on yourself because of the way your partner treats you, I would love to help you grow in understanding of present dynamics and experience relief so that you can move forward with confidence.

Coming to therapy requires courage, and I offer an empathic and supportive space where patients can feel understood, valued, and accepted as they are. I approach therapy through an important lens: that lasting change and healing comes from understanding the present-day impact of one’s past experiences and relationships, most importantly with oneself. Whether you are hoping to better manage stress and anxiety, navigate a challenging time in your life, strengthen your relationships, let go of feelings of insecurity, or improve your overall wellbeing, I can help.

I have a passion for helping clients work to face and overcome trauma. I specialize in working with adults with a variety of issues such as complex trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues. I work to gain understanding from the client’s perspective by using a person-centered approach and allows room for growth through collaboratively focusing on creating an integrative therapeutic plan that fits.
