My Approach

Hello, my name is Delitra Harrigan. I was born and raised in Seattle, and after more than two decades in the southeastern United States, I have come home to the Seattle area to serve my own community. For over 10 years I have worked with children and families as a therapeutic childcare teacher and family advocate, and that work shaped the heart of who I am as a therapist: I believe every child, teen and adult deserves to feel safe, understood and supported by the people around them. 

Since earning my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2020, I have gained approximately four years of postgraduate clinical experience with diverse populations, including young children, adolescents, at-risk teens, adults and older adults. I provide individual and group therapy, with a particular focus on infant and early childhood mental health. With young children, I partner closely with parents and caregivers, because the relationships in a child’s life are where healing and growth happen. 

I am also a licensed and ordained minister, a calling that has deepened my commitment to supporting and serving others with compassion and respect. My goal is to offer a warm, steady space where you and your family can build on your strengths, make sense of what you are facing, and leave each session with practical tools you can use at home.
