Dr Steven Harris

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Video Sessions Available! I will work compassionately with you to help you find your way towards a more fulfilling life.

About Me

I offer a compassionate space to explore the deeper patterns shaping your life. Together, we gently explore how past experiences influence your present, helping you understand yourself more fully. This approach is ideal if you seek lasting change and prefer the flexibility of online sessions from anywhere. My aim is for you to gain clarity, leading towards a more authentic and satisfying existence.

Approach

Sessions tend to alternate between careful listening and gentle interpretation so you can begin to see how past hurts quietly steer present choices. From my Newport Beach office or through secure online meetings in English, I keep a steady, measured pace—naming recurring feelings, linking them to relationship moments or urges, and trying out different responses between sessions. I pay close attention to shame, loss and the pulls that complicate desire, offering space to slow impulses and choose otherwise. People wrestling with trauma, mood shifts, relationship strain or sexual acting out often find this reflective rhythm helpful.
