Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Harouna Soumah has been in practice 12 years and is licensed in Florida. Harouna lists stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts among 43 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Harouna's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Harouna works with
Harouna lists 20 specialisms and 23 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Harouna chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Harouna's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes.

I specialize in addressing issues such as social anxiety, trauma recovery, communication barriers, and life transitions.
My approach is deeply compassionate and culturally informed. I understand the unique experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds and am committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, workplace stress, relationship conflicts, or seeking greater personal understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you in your healing journey.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop resilience, improve interpersonal skills, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. My goal is to empower you to build stronger connections, overcome emotional barriers, and discover your inherent strengths.

03 · What happens next
Harouna practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Harouna's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Harouna at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Harouna is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Harouna.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Harouna actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Harouna's - Harouna has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
