Letasha Harmon

Letasha Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


As a therapist and social worker, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value building authentic therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration.

My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including perinatal and postpartum mental health, identity development, and helping professionals manage burnout.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to “have it all together.” Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, relatable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you feel supported while also challenged toward healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.
