I am happy that you are reading this because it means you are considering your next steps to healing! Welcome and thank you for considering It Is Well Counseling Services, I am glad that you are here! My name is Kashina Harris and I have spent the beginning part of my career as an elementary school teacher in a classroom full of first grade students. It was in that classroom that my desire to help the students and families with more than academics became so evident. This passion led me to receive my Master’s in School Counseling from Lindenwood University in 2017 and a Masters in Counseling from Lindenwood University in 2018. In my first five years of counseling, I worked with highly trained counselors and clinicians with over 30 year of experience. I am blessed to have worked in multiple clinical settings and gained extensive knowledge in many areas of psychotherapy. It Is Well Counseling was established in 2021. It was created to partner with clients and offer trans-formative experiences by providing an environment that is safe and authentic. When listing my areas of expertise I find myself wanting to give, what some might say is a cheesy response, but I can’t deny that I love working with people. Every individual has a story that is unique to them and it has helped shape who they are. There have been many times in my own life that I have had to tell myself “it is well, with my soul” when I was in the middle of life's struggles because I knew there was power in my struggles. Ephesians 2:10 says "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." The very world we live in is broken, but we don't have to live in the brokenness, we weren’t created for that.
