Marriage & Family Therapist

Helping you Navigate

Hi, I’m Todd Harvey!
One of the best parts of my job is that I get to use my skills to help people transform their nervous systems from being jacked and over-stimulated due to painful crap from the past.  I help people stabilize their nervous systems and live from resourced and grounded parts of their brain rather than the fight or flight / hypervigilant part of the brain.

Other Life Experiences

There have been many instrumental life “moments” that have created a huge impact on my life.  I would love to share them with you, and we can see just how similar we are, and maybe some ways to support you in discussing them.
