Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling focuses on transforming destructive relationship patterns through Emotion Focused Therapy. We help partners develop empathy, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Ideal for pre-marital couples, high-conflict relationships, and those recovering from infidelity, our approach creates a safe space to address attachment wounds and foster lasting connection.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy addresses trauma and PTSD by reprocessing distressing memories while stimulating neural pathways. This evidence-based technique helps clients reduce hyper-vigilance, resolve past traumas, and restore nervous system balance. We specialize in treating single-incident trauma and complex trauma from ongoing abuse or neglect.
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy addresses anxiety, depression, and relational challenges through personalized treatment plans. Using Re-Creation of the Self Therapy and attachment-focused approaches, we help clients understand maladaptive patterns, develop emotional resilience, and cultivate self-acceptance for lasting personal growth.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Pre-marital counseling helps couples build strong foundations by identifying early relationship patterns. We focus on developing communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and emotional attunement to prevent future issues and create a resilient partnership grounded in mutual understanding.
Infidelity Counseling
Infidelity counseling guides couples through the three-stage process of rebuilding trust. We address attachment wounds, facilitate authentic forgiveness, and implement strategies to prevent recurrence. Our approach emphasizes emotional safety and creating a stronger relationship foundation post-infidelity.

Report
I wanted to say how grateful I am to Todd for helping me feel better. I reached out to him to help me with PTSD that I developed after a car accident and other big stressful events in my life. When I realized that I was stuck in a fight or flight mode and my nervous system was not letting it go. I am happy I did reach out. He helped me a lot with his knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor, made me realize that nervous system can be archaic in the way it functions and seeing "danger" when it's no longer there, and helping me with EMDR to unplug it. He also helped

I recommend Todd to specially those who never had a therapist or who have skeptical partners about the whole process. His free spirit and calming attitude works really great for me and my partner. The exercises and techniques he teaches us really works out for us and I cannot emphasize enough on how much comfortable he makes us feel while being very professional.
I'm very glad we chose to work with him.

Report
When my father passed away last year, I was going through severe grief and was diagnosed with Traumatic Grief, PTSD, and depersonalization. I was in a lot of emotional pain. I was seeing another therapist who recommended EMDR as a way to heal my condition. Todd was very careful in executing EMDR. He waited for the right moment when I was ready. Todd and EMDR helped me tremendously. Todd is very caring and he knows a lot of therapy techniques. I'm am grateful for having and choosing him as my therapist. If you are suffering mentally, Todd will be able to help you. Please check out his website

I can't recommend Todd Harvey enough. He was our couples counseled during a year process. His approach for developing empathy and emotional communication enabled us with many more skills for self work, than previous counselors. We got to places of vulnerability and within a truly equal focus on both our experiences. I found his work to be pretty amazing. If ever I plan on working with a counselor again as a couple or individual I will contact him. Think 'horse whisperer' for humans.
