Dr. Stephanie J. Harris is a Florida and California Licensed Psychologist (FL# PY6881 and CA# PSY28876) and Certified Healing Touch Practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She is also a Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist.        Dr. Harris has extensive training in holistic and integrative healing modalities, behavioral medicine and psycho-oncology, mindbody medicine, energy medicine, nutritional psychiatry, and rapid trauma resolution.

Dr. Harris is a University of Miami graduate and had the privilege of completing her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at UM. She then went on to achieve her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Miami Institute of Psychology, now Carlos Albizu University. While completing her doctorate, Dr. Harris earned a second Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.

Early on in her graduate career, Dr. Harris discovered her affinity for behavioral medicine and complementary modalities and subsequently, sought out training opportunities that would support and cultivate these interests. These included University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Goodman Psychological Services Center, and a fellowship training with Oncology Hematology Group of South Florida.

Dedicated to enhancing her knowledge base and proactive tool box, Dr. Harris went on to complete an intensive 60-hour training in Rapid Trauma Resolution with Clinical Hypnosis in 2006. This resulted in her becoming a Certified Practitioner. Since that time, Dr. Harris has completed numerous advanced training workshops in Rapid Resolution Therapy.

By 2008, Dr. Harris had acquired a hearty repertoire of tools, yet couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. And that’s when she attended her first Healing Touch training. The experience was life changing, as she felt like she’d “come home.” With delight and enthusiasm, she completed all 5 levels of Healing Touch International’s training program in Healing Touch, including a rigorous course of study between Levels 4 and 5. Upon successful completion of Level 5 in La Jolla, California in May 2015, Dr. Harris forged ahead to complete the final requirements for certification. And in March 2016, she became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner (CHTP). Dr. Harris also completed specialty trainings in Healing Touch and surgical coaching to support women with breast cancer (Healing Touch Buddies) and assist and prepare people for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation (The Beyond Surgery Program).

Dr. Harris began her private practice in Boca Raton, Florida more than 20 years ago. And in 2016, she moved to San Diego, California where she expanded her practice. Dr. Harris will forever be grateful for the time spent in California, but as Dorothy once said, “There’s no place like home.” And in spring of 2018, she moved back home to sunny South Florida and re-established her private practice.

Specializing in holistic and integrative psychology, women’s health and wellness, behavioral medicine, energy medicine, nutritional psychiatry, anxiety and stress reduction, psycho-spiritual development, and wellness promotion, Dr. Harris embraces a holistic, heart-centered approach to client care and treatment and uses traditional, complementary, and energy-based modalities to achieve optimal results. Her mission – to provide immediate and long-lasting symptom relief, restore balance, promote health and healing, and enrich quality of life.

An educator at heart, Dr. Harris is most passionate about wellness promotion and empowering clients, students, and community members with support, information, and proactive tools to live balanced, healthy, and prosperous lives. She is a public speaker and psychology instructor and has taught numerous courses for Palm Beach State College, Lynn University, Florida Atlantic University, and Miami Dade College. And perhaps one of her greatest joys is teaching “live-online” EPPP prep courses to candidates intending to sit for the psychology licensure exam in the United States and Canada; she has been an EPPP instructor for five years now. Dr. Harris also facilitates guided meditations, provides wellness workshops, and trains healthcare professionals.
