Hope Harris-Black, LCSW-C

Extremely warm and engaging therapist. Also was willing to give direct and much needed feedback to help in my growth mentally

I had a terrible experience with Hope Harris-Black. I suffer from social anxiety. After each virtual session with Hope, I only felt more anxious and she made me feel as if I couldn't do anything right. I found her advice not helpful at all and it just made me overthink my approach to socializing even more. She showed me no remorse when I went for a several weeks without an appointment because her staff messed up the scheduling. I find Hope very defensive and not at all nurturing and supportive, like a therapist should be. When I had mentioned that a certain topic was not discussed in one of her programs, during one of our individual sessions, she got defensive and told me that that topic was in fact discussed and I just didn't remember it. She just kept repeating herself and would hijack our conversations. I overpaid for her sessions, and I strongly advise against going to her for counseling.

I found her to be a very judgemental therapist. She would spend at least 50% of our sessions talking (I think because she didn't want to hear about my problems). She would also occasionally include advertisements for some of her other overpriced courses.

One of the most caring individuals I have ever met. So easy to talk with.

She is very caring, dedicated and professional. Great listener and practical in her observations.

I have been very happy with her. After many failed attempts with other therapist, she was able to build quick rapport with my daughter and I've seen incredible change in her. I found her to be very collaborative and she communicates well with me as well as she connected with our psychiatrist, school and other providers. I have been so impressed with the work with my daughter I've referred several friends to work with her and have hear nothing but positive feedback.

I found her overbearing, argumentative and condescending to my child.
