There’s much more to your story.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Drawing on decades of experience, I provide a compassionate, practical, and holistic approach to therapy. I began my work as a spiritual and addictions counselor in 1981 and became a state-licensed mental health therapist in 2007. Since then, I have partnered with individuals, couples, families, and groups to help them build on their strengths, clarify their values, and create lasting change.

Before moving into private practice, I spent 20 years serving the Cleveland, Tennessee community as an outpatient therapist with Volunteer Behavioral Health.

Mary Jo Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

Therapist

Great to meet you. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying emotional pain, relationship challenges, or life circumstances that have left you feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that every person's story is different, and I believe healing begins by creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating changes within your family, coping with loss, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you move toward greater balance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Memphis

Searching for OCD therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsive routines, and related anxiety. Some therapists offer specialized approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists have specific training in every approach, so it can help to ask a qualified provider about their background. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or experience with intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

Memphis offers a solid range of mental health care options, and the right fit may depend on location, appointment format, and specialty training. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if a therapist with ERP experience has limited office availability near you. When reviewing profiles, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD. Read their bio for details on their approach, appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe working with OCD-related concerns.

Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lists therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and area. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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