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 Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing mental health is an integral part of quality of life. Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement!

I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing disconnection, conflict, and communication issues.
I've spent 14 years helping people navigate their mental health. I believe you deserve a provider who truly knows you — not just your chart. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and your life. My work centers on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, and I take the time to fully understand what's going on before any treatment decisions are made. I'm direct, accessible, and committed to being a steady, consistent presence in your care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Peoria
Searching for therapists in Peoria starts with finding care that matches your needs. A therapist may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style fit what you want to address. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Peoria, the right local match may depend on more than office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Illinois while still letting you choose in-person therapy when that fits your schedule. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their session style is described. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Peoria can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists in Peoria, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
