My name is Dean Harry, and I am thrilled to be working as a therapist with Stronger Oregon. I have 25+ years of experience working in counseling and education. As a professional counselor, I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples. I can treat a wide range of mental health disorders, trauma and post traumatic conditions, and various levels of crisis. I can also offer support with parent-child conflicts, anger management, grief, past or present suicidal ideation, and conflict resolution skills. I am also familiar with issues and concerns related to marriage and long term relationships, parenting, substance use and recovery, divorce, and changes in phase of life. I prefer a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) approach, while working with clients. I believe many of our core emotions and behaviors are generated by ideas, beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts and not necessarily by the events we experience. I also utilize aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I have deep roots working with client’s who struggle with mental illness in the private practice setting; as well as crisis, and psychiatric inpatient care.

My work as a professional educator has spanned many settings: teaching college level psychology classes as an adjunct professor, as well as working as a high school counselor, behavior specialist, autism consultant and as special education case manager at a high school in a youth correctional facility. I’m familiar with the special education process and have worked with students in both specialized and the mainstream setting. I work with individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, emotional disturbance, other health impairment (mainly for ADHD, conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorders) and specific learning disabilities.

No matter the situation, I work to cultivate a calm, relaxed, and trauma informed approach to insure my clients feel safe, respected and valued. Working together, we will develop a plan that works best for you. As a therapist, I would be honored to work you.
