Harvey Hyman

My communication style

I build our therapeutic bond by making you feel genuinely seen, heard, understood, empathized with, and safe. This enables you to be vulnerable, to deeply explore your past and present inner world, and to express old pain. I use encouragement, humor, metaphors, and stories to illuminate key truths that fuel your insight and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked as a trial lawyer before burning out and becoming severely depressed. My recovery through therapy inspired me to help others who, like me, carried unrecognized childhood trauma into adulthood. I do this work to help adults access healing that truly works.

My goals for you

I set goals with you in a highly collaborative way. You drive the process while I help articulate and crystallize your goals. We keep them flexible and modify them as you progress in therapy.

Our first session

The initial session involves gathering relevant history about you, your concerns, and your goals. It's also about getting to know each other, asking questions, and seeing if we're a good fit for the journey of therapy together.
