I’m a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, major life transitions, and substance-related concerns. I earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and am licensed to practice in Nevada and Illinois. I am also a National Certified Counselor and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor.

Life can sometimes feel like a relentless storm when stress, anxiety, or major changes start piling up. The weight of it all can leave you feeling stuck, emotionally drained, or uncertain about what to do next. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll work to gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, increase self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Like golf, therapy is a process of staying present, learning from challenges, and building skills one step at a time. I believe therapy is about more than managing what is happening today; it is also an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. It’s not about perfection, but progress—each step, no matter how small, can move you closer to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I’m A. Harvest, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Case Manager (CCM) with 21 years of experience in social work and behavioral health. My background spans outpatient mental health, integrated primary care, medical social work, rehabilitation, hospice, telehealth, group therapy, and leadership — much of it within the Veterans Health Administration, where I've had the privilege of serving veterans, military families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

As a wife, mother, caregiver, and healthcare professional myself, I understand what it feels like to carry multiple roles while trying to show up for everyone - including yourself. I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my work, and I believe that combination matters. You'll find me warm, authentic, and genuinely invested in your well-being. I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged.
