I want to recognize your courage to begin on a path for positive growth and well-being. If you are looking for support and guidance to resolve issues which have left you feeling powerless or if you are just hitting a rough spot in your life, I believe that through therapeutic approaches, together we can conquer your fears to resolve issues from your past that are contributing to behavior patterns (e.g., substance use, anxiety, depression, grief and loss) that keep you feeling like a victim rather than empowered. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

With over seventeen years of experience working with clients of all ages, including couples and families, I have worked with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, marital conflict, co-parenting, and divorce recovery – just to name a few.
Sometimes, I ask questions to help you reach your answers, and, other times, I challenge you and frequently give assignments to help you further work through what’s bothering you. Things I have heard repeatedly from clients is that they appreciate my down-to-earth, empathetic yet sometimes humorous approach. Clients consistently say that they appreciate the way I listen and genuinely care. I’m kinda like a wise teacher, nurturer, wisecracking, and sarcastic all rolled into one. I have also been described as a motivational coach and encouraging cheerleader. Most importantly, I like to think of myself as a fellow traveler.

In addition to working as a therapist, I have written about long-term success for couples and workplace stress and have led therapy groups on these topics as well as anxiety and depression.
I became a therapist after working for many years in business and finance. I was fortunate to then complete a master's and subsequently a doctoral program in Psychology. This professional and academic experience supports the therapy I've been providing for over a decade. By connecting academic theories with my clients' real-life situations and an empathic and thoughtful style, I seek to help clients understand themselves better while supporting their movement forward in positive directions.

One is teenagers and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, an/or defiance.
A main focus of my therapy is joining clients in what they are going through. Therapeutic workbooks are great, but there is a big difference between opening up to a workbook versus opening up to a human being. When we open up to another person we make ourselves vulnerable. That is when true growth begins. I set out to try and help people deal with the core issues, as well as enhance their core strengths. When there is a recovery in the core, the symptoms can be dealt with. Our problematic situations and behaviors are but a symptom. Website: jeremyharveymftcom

My experience includes counseling adults, couples and families who face issues with alcohol/drug addiction, unresolved trauma, anger management, grief/loss and symptoms of anxiety or depression.
We live in a complicated world!
Maybe you are seeking tools to manage a temporary challenge...or perhaps are coping with issues that have persisted for some time. No matter the obstacle, we all have the capability to problem solve. However many of us feel unprepared, alone and overwhelmed when facing emotional burdens. That's where it really helps to have a professional available to guide and support us.
