We believe that integration starts from day one. A more traditional view of mental health support and treatment suggests connection begins after stabilization and community integration is seen as a post-treatment outcome, reserved for when the client is "ready" or symptom-free. The community integration approach differs from the traditional approach because community engagement is a core component of care from the start. Check out our latest blog to learn more about community integration and how we achieve it through teaming between Help in the Home and Help in the Home Clinical Services.

Community integration shouldn’t be a post-treatment outcome, it should be a core component of care. We believe that integration starts from day one.

So excited to have Shannon join the Help in the Home Clinical Services team!

We are so excited to introduce Shannon Harris, LMSW, MBA, RYT-200 to our HITH Clinical Services community! She is currently accepting new clients ages 14+.

Shannon is a licensed Master Social Worker serving a diverse clientele, including teens, adults, and families. She enjoys working with clients who are looking for support with symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression, level 1 autism, and trauma that are interfering with their personal goals.

Before beginning her journey to becoming a therapist, Shannon supported behavioral health agencies behind the scenes for more than 15 years. Now, as a clinician, she uses those experiences to enlighten her practice, taking a collaborative and holistic approach to helping people enhance their quality of life.

Shannon's expertise extends beyond clinical skills. She is a dedicated yogi and yoga teacher, strongly advocating for the mind-body connection in the healing process. She is also a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

If you or someone you know is looking for support, we would love to connect. Reach out at info@hithcs.com or (301) 388-8112. We are an out-of-network provider.

We were so grateful to be able to attend the American Residential Treatment Association’s Spring Conference last week. It was such an honor to be officially inducted into ARTA last fall. The opportunities to learn from, connect, and collaborate with likeminded professionals has been invaluable.

ARTA's Spring Conference!

There’s nothing quite like bringing leaders together in one room, sharing ideas, learning from one another, and building on the collective strength that drives our work forward. The conversations, collaboration, and genuine support in this space are what make it so impactful.

Connecting with others who share similar experiences, missions, and goals is both grounding and inspiring, and a powerful reminder that we’re not doing this work alone.

Already looking ahead to what we’ll build together this fall.
