Couples Counseling Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

Our creative and determined brain allows us to “make it through” whatever life throws our way. We develop ideals, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking about the world, ourselves, and others. These things that at one point were meant to be protective and preserve us can overtime unknowingly to us be the very thing that gets in our way preventing us from living the life we ultimately desire. It can manifest itself in ways such as feeling frustrated with ourselves, feeling stuck, disconnected from our body, or even frozen with anxiety, depression, and maybe suicidal thoughts.

Do you often feel exhausted and weighed down by feelings of anxiety, frustration, or feeling as if you or your partner aren’t connecting anymore? Come talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address these issues so that you feel rejuvenated, connected, and start experiencing joy once again. I am a certified therapist in EMDR therapy and will be finishing my PhD in forensic psychology next summer of 2023. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples. I specialize in EMDR therapy and use the Gottman method when working with couples.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Has a horrible event happened to you? Or maybe don't even remember, but your body doesn't feel the same? Do you feel at times like you are floating through life? Then it may be time to seek professional help. Trauma for children or even adults is devastating and impacts many different areas of our lives, such as relationships, jobs, work, and family.

My goal is to help you overcome your current setbacks so you can live your best life, full of connection and new patterns of meaning.

I have had an active clinical practice for over 30 years, specializing in marital and sexual therapy, anger and stress management. Clients see me as a competent professional and a person they feel comfortable with. I like to see couples who are motivated to improve their relationship and learn skills to be better partners. I am seen as quit balanced in my approach and ''down the middle" in terms of seeing things from both gender points of view. Because of this, many husbands participate in couples therapy with me that might otherwise not feel comfortable in therapy.

Are you ready to live a more connected life? Navigating life's transitions is an on going process and at times can cause anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. These issues deserve care and support that can be received by reaching out for help. I can help you can find ways to better manage the changes that life brings, or to initiate the changes you want to make.

I work with individuals and couples to deepen their connection to themselves and others. Relational distress, depression, anxiety, and trauma are some of the issues that can get in the way of feeling connected to oneself and others. No one should have to go through these experiences alone. Together, I will walk alongside you and explore how to lessen their effects while healing the bond you have with yourself and your closest ones. My priority is a strong therapeutic relationship based on safety and empathy. My hope is that the individuals I work with feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.

I believe that healing becomes possible when individuals are truly seen, heard, and supported.

I work with relational issues. Whether it's a relationship with a loved one, a romantic partner or a relationship with your self. I'm here to help.

I am hoping that if you are reading this, that you are ready to make changes in your life. Changes that will allow you to have clarity and new tools that in turn will lessen the stress and anxiety associated with the external and internal world that we live in. Are you carrying a lot on your shoulders? Do you feel heard and validated? Do you live with constant negative thoughts or rumination of the past?

In life, we often encounter challenges and painful experiences. With these challenges, you might have found yourself in a place of feeling stuck. Your familiar relational and emotional patterns of coping might not be as helpful as they previously were. Relationships might have become more difficult rather than life giving. As your therapist, my goal is to come alongside of you during this hard time in your life and guide you toward a place of peace and balance.

One thing you will learn about me if we encounter one another is that I am a passionate advocate for practicing self-care, speaking to the self with honesty, and compassion. If you have an interest in therapy and don’t know where to start, have a fear that it’s not meant for you, or have a belief that “nothing will change,” please know that there is a place for you to freely express yourself, your fears, and even voice your hopes. Now, that place could be here with me, or it could be with another therapist, either way, just know that you are worth taking up the space.

Hello! Congratulations for being the best advocate for your health! It would be an honor to join you in this journey. Therapy is a space where you will find no judgement, compassion, patience and research based strategies to help you. My goal is to understand at my best your life experience and collaborate with you to create a plan that would help you achieve your goals, whether they are about work, health, relationships, family or personal growth.

As a therapist and clinical counselor, I help to hold the weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, and relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen. Struggle and suffering are hard to face, as it often leaves us feeling broken. Many of us were never taught to embrace our flaws and imperfections. What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves, the parts of us that are scarred, and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency?

I am here to help you manage your anxiety, help you battle addiction, cope with traumatic experiences, and discover your identity. It is not only important to me that I help increase your self-esteem, but to help you improve your self-worth and confidence.

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
