About me

My name is Harvey I have over 20 years' experience with mental health and with the substance abuse populations. The approaches to therapy i utilize are Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These are the two i utilize the most to assist individuals with developing necessary skills so they can effectively address any issues they are considering to be a challenge in their life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I tend to utilize Motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist individuals with developing necessary skills so they can effectively address any issues they are considering to be a challenge in their life. In the first session we will take the time to discuss what brought you in to treatment. Then we will develop Measurable goals for you to obtain to meet your counseling needs

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their life, all they need to have is the proper motivation and support. I do believe some issues are formulated from the family of origin and it is important to identify those issues which often play a part in dysfunctional relationships. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Just a little information about myself. I am currently in recovery with 27 years clean. I also have had my own struggles with anxiety and depression. Through my own therapy, I was able to develop skills to cope with my emotions. Also, I attend 12 step groups to further maintain my recovery support. I am very open minded individual who will always do what is best for the individuals I serve. One thing I always say is, “ If I short change you, then I short change me”. If you have any more questions about me, please reach out for a 15 minute consultation.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients who like homework and doing work in between sessions. Clients who are prepared to have tough conversations and are able to accept honest feedback in a loving caring way. I am also in position to serve people who are navigating major life transitions, whether in career growth, caregiving responsibilities, or experiencing depression. My ideal client is a individual who is ready to embark on life change and developing skills to change their quality of life
