Before earning my Masters in Counseling, I earned a PhD in social and personality psychology. This background deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. I help clients address unresolved trauma and grief, anxiety and OCD, address relationship issues, as well as "problems of everyday living." My style is active, engaged, and practical.

I have discovered that every client I see has the same goals. You want to feel better! In a collaborative, supportive, and professional environment, this is possible. I see clients who feel shame, guilt, confusion, grief, anger, hopelessness, and those with high levels of stress and anxiety. I graduated with my Master's in Counseling from Spring Arbor University in 2019. I bring a wealth of life experience to help those who are struggling. I welcome the opportunity to build trust in a professional relationship to help you feel better.

Good therapy can change your life! In the decade that I've been a psychotherapist, I've accompanied my clients through breaking vicious cycles, reworking toxic patterns, and creating new habits that promote their flourishing. My advanced clinical training makes me especially effective working with clients who self-describe as perfectionists, people pleasers, over-functioning, and/or highly sensitive.

Bri Harless

Bri Harless

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

Hi there! My name is Todd and I am a licensed psychotherapist and IFS-informed therapist.

I effectively treat anxiety, depressive symptoms, compulsive behaviors, and most challenges with Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS, or "parts work" is a revolutionary approach that's not the same as typical talk therapy.

I offer an understanding, compassionate ear in a welcoming virtual setting.

I look forward to meeting you!

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

Do you often find yourself feeling empty – as if you float through your days going through the motions, rather than living an abundant and thriving life? Life can be difficult, and no matter how strong one may be mentally, there is only so much stress one can shoulder alone before it becomes too much. I believe in working together collaboratively in order to unlock one’s innate ability to self-heal. Through support and guided introspection, the answers to our troubles become self-evident.
