How do I know if my sexual behavior is out of control? For many men this question is very subjective and they unfortunately wait for a spouse, loved one or their employer to discover their hidden sexual life before considering help. At The Harvey Institute we believe the most important person to evaluate his personal conflict with regulating sexual behavior is the man experiencing the dilemma. We help men contemplate "What is your conflict with your sexual behavior?" and "What is your vision for your sexual health?" We strive to provide a safe, sexually informed and confidential space for sexual health conversations.

If you’re like many of my clients, you may feel exhausted from battling your thoughts and anxiety all day long. You might find yourself stuck in obsessive loops, chasing a sense of certainty and control. Maybe you replay conversations, double-check texts, or search endlessly for answers online. And even when you get temporary relief, it never lasts, another fear eventually surfaces, and the cycle begins again. For others, the weight of trauma or grief makes everything feel heavier: memories that won’t settle, emotions that surge unexpectedly, or a sense of being overwhelmed by what you’ve been through or lost.

I work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to create a path toward specific goals for therapy. Throughout the years I have worked with people from all different walks of life, and I believe in the importance of individualizing treatment to each person and their experiences.
