About Harriette
Harriette Wade, LPC, helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, and career or life transitions. Her approach is direct and practical, with attention to what is happening in daily life and in relationships.
She keeps sessions focused on real problems and small, doable changes. Harriette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that began earlier in life. Trauma-focused work is offered for people coping with painful or frightening events. Harriette earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Louisiana.
She has 12 years of clinical experience and a longer history in helping roles, including work in mental rehabilitation and intensive outpatient programs. That background informs her practical, skills-oriented style. Sessions are collaborative.
Harriette treats each person as the expert on their life and crafts a plan that fits their goals and day-to-day realities. She often pairs skills training with exploration of patterns to help people make steady progress. Parents and caregivers will find concrete tools for managing parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, and attachment concerns.
Harriette also addresses multicultural factors, prejudice and discrimination, and complex mood or personality concerns when they matter to a client’s goals.
