I welcome and support the Highly Sensitive Person. Take just a moment. Allow yourself to recall what it feels like to be calm, confident, enthusiastic, loved and loving. Hold on to those warm thoughts for a bit. You deserve them. Don't slide back into the swamp of negativity. Stay on the healthy path. Feeling good is not only possible, it's the mark of the responsible person who holds themselves and others in loving regard.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

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 recovery in the core, the symptoms can be dealt with. Our problematic situations and behaviors are but a symptom. Website: jeremyharveymft.com

If you find yourself overwhelmed, stressed, reactive, burdened or disconnected from yourself and others, you are in the right place. Perfectionism and a harsh inner critic will keep you from feeling comfortable in your body and relationships. In 2024, we face a lot of challenges and just being human is hard. Maybe you are turning toward food, media or substances to soothe yourself. If this is you, I can help you slow down and begin your journey of moving toward healing.

I love working with young adults. Right now your lives are filled with choices and decisions, and you may be trying to develop deep, long-lasting relationships. You've got so many life transitions going on all at once, and it can be very confusing! If you also have emotional pain happening in your life at the same time, you may feel "stuck" in moving forward. There's so much to look forward to in your life and you don't want to miss out.

For the past 10+ years, Narcissism is the personality style most everyone has become familiar with, or worse, experienced intense emotional abuse from a relationship with a narcissist. In practicing psychotherapy for 20+ years, I've come to understand all that exists in the narcissistic realm. The imprint of narcissistic abuse - inflamed conflict, continual drama, depletion of your soul, and the eventual fracturing of your sense of self to an unrecognizable state - this can all be restored to an inner sense of health and peace. Let me help in the healing of your authentic self.
