Kara Harrison, MA

As a Resident in Counseling in Virginia, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals by integrating clinical tools with the timeless wisdom of the Word of God. My passion is to help others navigate life’s challenges with strength, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose.

I began my career in the mental health field in 2021, gaining valuable experience in diverse clinical settings such as community nonprofits and private practice. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals, including young adults, military members, and children. My work spans various modalities, including individual therapy, premarital counseling, and crisis management, allowing me to provide holistic care tailored to each person’s needs.

Holding a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Union University and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, I am dedicated to offering a well-rounded approach rooted in Biblical principles and a systems perspective. I believe in empowering individuals to tap into their personal strengths while aligning their mental health journey with God’s purpose for their lives.

Grounded in cognitive-behavioral frameworks, my therapeutic approach encourages clients to explore and process their thoughts and emotions. I work together with clients to uncover new behavioral techniques that help them build resilience and thrive. My goal is to support individuals in overcoming life’s obstacles and living abundantly, as reflected in Revelation 12:11 and John 10:10.

On a personal note, I cherish time spent with my husband, daughter, and our puppy. My husband and I are both licensed ministers with the United Pentecostal Church International, where we serve as youth leaders in our local church. Originally from Tennessee (Go Vols!), I moved to Virginia due to my husband’s Navy assignment, and you’ll likely find me with a coffee in hand wherever I go.

I provide telehealth services anywhere in the state of Virginia. I am supervised by both Dr. Elissa Jarvis, LCP, and Ashley Tennyson, LPC.
