No matter what you're feeling or thinking or going through, I'd welcome the chance to work through it by your side--whether you're a teen or an adult, we can start figuring it out, together. If you're reading this, you might be ready to jump right in or you might be taking that first tentative step towards finding someone to talk to; either way, you've already actively moved forward (though I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way). If you're struggling with your feelings, your thoughts, or a difficult situation, I hope that you'll reach out; nobody is meant to handle everything on their own, and you absolutely don't have to.

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom. The weight of sadness can be suffocating, draining your energy and leaving you in a constant state of emotional numbness. Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness and we will find it together.

Although my clinical interests are broad, I am particularly passionate about reducing risk for cognitive decline and improving overall health through lifestyle modification. I have lectured extensively on the power that exercise, healthy diet, quality sleep, psychological well-being, and staying cognitively and socially active have on maintaining/improving cognitive functioning both now and as we age.

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

You love your child, but raising them is a different story. They are falling behind in school, they are sneaking out, and they refuse to listen. There is chaos in the house and the arguments seem never ending. Respect is gone and the power struggle continues. Judgement and shame comes from friends and family members and you are at a loss of what to do because no matter what you've done, nothing seems to work. You must be overwhelmed and exhausted. Don't blame yourself for your child's out of control behavior!

You've realized your relationship isn't getting better, it's getting worse. Just when you think things are more peaceful, a difficult topic comes up, and the conversation devolves into another argument. You can't talk about anything important, important to you at least. When you do try to talk again, one of you feels defensive with strong emotions, the other of you feels disrespected or picked on. How do you communicate if you can't get past the start of a conversation? Your partner feels too fragile, so you just shut down to protect yourself and your partner from difficult emotions.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
