What Harvey says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed mental health therapist serving clients across the United States, I am committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. My approach is faith-informed for those who desire it, while always honoring each client's unique values, beliefs, and personal journey.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals in a wide variety of settings, including corrections, child investigations, community-based practice, ministry, crisis intervention, and private practice. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the many ways trauma, stress, relationships, and life circumstances can impact emotional well-being, while reinforcing my belief that every person deserves to be met with dignity, respect, and hope.

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, and major life transitions. As a trauma-informed therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process difficult experiences, develop practical coping skills, build resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Whether you're seeking healing from past experiences, navigating a current crisis, strengthening relationships, or simply looking for greater clarity and personal growth, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you with empathy, encouragement, and professional guidance.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing me to support individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds with sensitivity and understanding. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to create the life you want-one step at a time.

With specialized training in trauma-informed care, I understand the nuanced emotional landscapes individuals traverse during difficult seasons. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for personal beliefs and individual journeys.

I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilient coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal growth. Whether you're experiencing relationship challenges, processing past experiences, or seeking guidance through life transitions, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

My practice is bilingual, offering services in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with a diverse range of individuals and communities. I approach each therapeutic relationship with genuine care, respect, and a collaborative spirit.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Harvey practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Harvey's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Harvey at this point.

2. Naming Harvey specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Harvey is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Harvey.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Harvey

Built from what Harvey actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Harvey's - Harvey has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

Where every line on this page came from

Harvey's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Harvey. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
