My THERAPY Modalities
EDMR
Initially developed to address trauma, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has since evolved to encompass various protocols tailored for treating a wide spectrum of disorders, particularly within the realm of Anxiety Disorders.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recognized as a gold standard modality in psychological treatment. Researched extensively, it has been demonstrated to effectively address a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety disorders, substance use problems, marital conflicts, eating disorders, and severe mental illnesses. Numerous studies have shown that CBT leads to significant improvements in functioning and overall quality of life.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness involves cultivating awareness of both our internal experiences and the external environment. I've pursued mindfulness in my academic studies, learned from experienced practitioners, and integrated mindfulness into both my professional and my personal life.

Greetings, I'm Rob Harrison!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Orleans, Louisiana with a wealth of experience spanning 15 years in therapeutic practice. Throughout my career, I've cultivated a specialization in trauma, having received comprehensive training in both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TR-CBT).
My journey in the field has taken me across diverse settings, from outpatient clinics and psychiatric inpatient hospitals to juvenile justice, immigration services, private practice, universities to engagements with the Department of Defense. This breadth of experience has allowed me to work with a wide spectrum of clients, each with unique needs and backgrounds.
In addition to my clinical work, I've had the privilege of sharing insights and knowledge through lectures on psychopharmacology and trauma at conferences, where I've had the opportunity to contribute to the professional development of fellow practitioners.
I'm deeply passionate about the work I do and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to embark on their journey towards healing and personal growth. If you're seeking guidance or support, I'm here to help navigate your path forward with compassion and expertise.
