Clayton J. Harrison Jr. is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a passion for helping children and families understand and express their emotions. Drawing from years of experience working with youth in schools and communities around the world, Clayton brings empathy, clarity, and imagination to his storytelling.

His debut children’s book, James Goes to Therapy, was inspired by the belief that emotional wellness should be accessible and relatable for all children. Through this story, Clayton hopes to normalize therapy and empower young readers to explore their feelings in safe, supportive ways.

When he's not writing or working with clients, Clayton enjoys creating mindfulness and mental health content for adults and families on his YouTube channel, spending time with loved ones, and exploring the world.
