Life has its ups and downs, and if you're feeling lost or struggling to find meaning, know that you're not alone—I'm here to help! As your therapist, I'll provide a warm, non-judgmental space for you to explore your journey toward greater self-awareness, growth, and healing. I draw from various therapy approaches to address issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, and more. Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming, but I strive to create an authentic connection with every client. I believe in your ability to thrive, and I'll support you every step of the way.

My years of specialized training and experience have equipped me with skills in various therapeutic approaches. I have a background in treating co-occurring disorders (substance abuse treatment and mental health). I customize my approach to meet the needs and presenting problems of my clients and direct their treatment to establish a therapeutic alliance in order to facilitate the bridge to health.

I have worked as a medical and psychiatric social worker/therapist in hospitals, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and in private practice. With respect and compassion, we will work together to increase self-awareness and forgiveness for ourselves and others.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an interactive psychotherapy technique used to relieve psychological stress.During EMDR therapy sessions, you relive traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while I direct your eyes in rapid movement. I believe in collaborative work, my focus is creating solutions to your current issues, using EMDR. I believe that the key to your success is creating a space that makes you feel comfortable and accepted, in order to foster this environment my office is a serene space. As a trained EMDR therapist my work is primarily working with PTSD, Anxiety and Depression.

I have over thirty years of experience working with couples, families, children and teens. If you need help with your special needs child or troubled teen, I'd be happy to talk to you to determine if an evaluation or assessment would benefit you or your family member. I'd love to tell you about the tools I have in my tool chest (neurofeedback, EFT, EMDR.) that could help all your relationships improve, as well as the quality of your relationship with your child. I have the expertise you need; let me collaborate with you to solve your problems.

I have been a therapist for 10 years. This has been a lifetime goal for me. I waited to become a therapist until I had the time in my life to dedicate myself to this career. My life experience has brought me to a place of openness and acceptance of everyone's life journeys. I have worked with all different types of people in many different walks of life. Everyone wants to be heard when life is not as we expect it to be. I believe that is what therapy is all about, being heard.

I create an empathetic space where you can regain your balance, gain insight, and, ultimately, become more confident and secure. My training and practice include solution-focused and trauma-informed care that highlights the importance of developing healthy relationships. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families using a compassionate approach to healing past hurt and improving present relationships. I believe authenticity, honesty, and transparency make up the heart of an effective treatment.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, groups and families. My treatment approach is to provide support and insight to help clients address current life challenges and long standing issues. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a primary intervention and skills training for those clients seeking solutions for issues related to emotional regulation, interpersonal communication breakdowns, and difficulties in managing stress and personal balance.

I am ONLY accepting patients for psychological evaluation and assessment, not therapy currently. Have you or your child been dealing with social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties? Would you like to better understand yourself or your child? Do you think you or your child has ADHD, Learning Disabilities, or ASD? Many times, people "act out” or perform poorly in their lives due to underlying struggles that they may be unaware of. This is where I can help, I can provide full evaluations, including psychological testing, to assist in providing appropriate diagnoses and treatment plans to allow people to thrive in their daily lives.

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

I admire people who seek therapy for the purpose of gaining insight into their relational issues with self and others. They choose to embrace vulnerability and work steadily to reach their goals. Despite the discomfort and ambiguity of the process, they stay focused on their intention of creating a healthier life. I believe that not every modality works for all. By catering to each client’s specific needs, I utilize the appropriate approach in order to help them move past their struggles and to gain a sense of strength to fulfill their mental health needs.

Logical Behavioral Health providers are professionals who understand and prioritize your care above all else. We believe that in certain cases, good care even means providing a referral to someone outside of our office if our providers are not the best fit for your behavioral health care needs. The overall course of treatment will ultimately utilize a collaborative approach in helping you achieve mutually formulated treatment goals to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. If you believe that you need a referral to a psychiatrist or other health care professional, we have the resources to provide you with an appropriate referral.

I believe psychotherapy is a process of allowing yourself to feel heard, seen, understood, and accepted. By building a safe relationship with the counselor, gradually accepting and seeing more possibilities and tapping into your true strengths, you can re-engage in a healthy life, work and relationships. It is a patient, step-by-step process that requires patience.
