Eleanor (Ellie) Harrison

Eleanor Harrison, Psy.D., is an prelicensed clinical psychologist working under the supervision of Dr. John G. Kuna. She obtained her doctorate degree in clinical psychology from La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA, and she completed her predoctoral internship in a state prison, conducting individual and group therapy and assessments for individuals in medium- and maximum-security yards.

Eleanor has previously received training in multiple therapeutic modalities, including exposure therapies, therapeutic horseback riding, sex offender treatment, and cognitive processing therapy for trauma. She has also participated in ongoing supervision in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) from a psychologist who is Linehan-certified in DBT. Currently, she is “in formation” with a psychoanalytic institute specializing in Lacanian analysis. Eleanor utilizes an approach to therapy that seeks to uncover hidden patterns that you may be unintentionally repeating across life circumstances. By identifying what is keeping you stuck in these old ways of being, it is her belief that you can then work together to find new ways of being that transform suffering into something new: a life worth living.

When she is not working, she is catching up on the latest episodes of Survivor and Criminal Minds, reading almost anything she can get her hands on, or looking for her new favorite restaurant (she’s lowkey a foodie). She also has 3 cats, named after Greco-Roman figures, and a dog, named Winston, that she absolutely adores.
