Therapy is about noticing, exploring and then making an empowered decision.
Bienvenidos [Welcome]! My name is Rachel Camilo Harris, LMHC, LPCC, owner of Handcrafted Counseling & Consulting, and I am licensed to provide mental health counseling services in both Florida & California. I currently provide telehealth therapy coast to coast for your convenience! I have 10+ years of clinical experience, working with diverse populations and ages, primarily focused on working through trauma. If you landed here in efforts to gain supervision hours for licensure, I am also a Qualified Supervisor for registered interns in the state of Florida, in search of postgraduate supervision hours.
Why “handcrafted”? I believe there is both an art and science to therapy, and that it is courageous of you to pursue services to enhance your quality of life; therefore, your experience deserves to be handcrafted specifically to address your unique experiences and goals. I specialize in childhood trauma, whether we are engaging in retroactive work to heal the inner child as an adult, or processing concurrent circumstances as a child or adolescent. The foundational tenet of my practice is trauma-informed and my therapeutic approach is authentic, curious and non-judgmental. I bring compassion and energy to meet each of you exactly where you are in your journey. I also enjoy incorporating creativity and humor when appropriate.
Surviving “Big T” or “little t” traumas can include but are not limited to:
Sexual abuse or trafficking
Physical abuse
Racial trauma
Emotional or narcissistic abuse
Neglect
Abandonment
Involvement with the foster care system
Poverty & homelessness
Substance use exposure
Codependency
Divorce & Parent Alienation
Intimate partner violence
Death, grief & loss
Incarceration of loved one
My own story and spirituality inspire me to engage in this work; however, it is important to understand that I do not impose my personal beliefs, as I pride myself on professional boundaries and ethics. I am available to incorporate Christian counseling if you are seeking this type of approach. I am a woman of color (Latina) and I also pride myself on curating a safe space for issues surrounding racial trauma to be discussed. I am available for speaking engagements, trainings and webinars, and podcasts.
If what you’re reading resonates with you, I would be happy to provide a free 15 minute consultation to explore if we are a good fit. I am honored to partner with you and come alongside you on your healing journey!
