I’ve only had one video session so far and lots of texting. Dr Harvey is very supportive and empathetic. I look forward to more sessions and to my healing.

Dr. Harvey is a rare human being: both expert in her field, attentive to specific therapeutic goals we have set together, and extremely present, focussed, thoughful and kind. She is never afraid to share insights or not, intuiting the needs of the moment. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone who feels stuck and is ready for some gentle, consistent and prodding.

I’m so grateful for having Dr. Harvey and as my therapist ! She is a real professional and an amazing person. When we just started, I was so mentally exhausted and stressed, but after 5-6 months of our sessions, I feel much happier. I gained so much confidence and inner peace :) thank you for that!
