Hello! I'm Uganda Harris, a Master's student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. My passion lies in helping teenagers navigate life's challenges and discover their unique paths to well-being. My journey in mental health began with a strong desire to make a positive impact on others, and I've gained valuable clinical experience working with diverse populations.

My goal is to create a safe, empathetic space where clients can freely express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop essential coping skills for their critical stage of life.
