I support clients through a warm, attuned, and relationship‐centered approach. My intention is to be collaborative, helpful, and grounded in trust‐based, relational work. If you’re ready for a space where your story is honored, I'm here. It can be a struggle in how we connect, trust, and regulate our emotions throughout life which influences our levels of anxiety, depression, and overall ability to manage mood. I have worked with persons with disabilities, children, adults, and families to help find balance.

Stephanie Harris

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi! My name is Stephanie Harris and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor from Vermont, but currently living in Chicago. I am happy to help you with whatever you are facing in life right now. I work with individual adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, abuse, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and more. I have specialized training in helping people recover from trauma. Trauma can have a profound effect on how people view the world and relate to others, which is why a trauma-informed approach to treatment can be very helpful. I will help people heal from their painful and distressing experiences so they are able to feel more safe and secure in the world now. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, and a Doctorate in Psychology from Roosevelt University. I have experience working in private practice, crisis centers, in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics. I have worked with adults, couples, people with developmental disabilities, survivors of sexual abuse, people of the Latinx population, couples with infertility issues, and people facing deportation. I believe these experiences have helped me find multiple ways to connect with others and help them reach their goals.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Rockford, IL

Searching for therapists in Rockford starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Rockford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their experience, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.

In a mid-sized city like Rockford, your best fit may be near Riverside, Coronado, East State, or available through virtual sessions. In-person therapy can be helpful if you prefer a set office location, while virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes or local options are limited. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Rockford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and see your estimated costs before booking.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
