Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

Angela Harvey

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Angela Harvey — a licensed therapist in North Carolina and South Carolina and a United States Air Force veteran. I've spent my career working with adults who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that builds up when you've been strong for too long. I work with helping professionals, military members, veterans, and everyday people

who are ready to do something different. I want you to know that my approach is warm but direct. I listen

without judgment — and I also tell you the truth. If you're looking for someone who will simply validate everything you do, I may not be the right fit. But if you want someone who will walk alongside you with real honesty, genuine care, and a belief that meaningful change is possible, then I'd like to work with you.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.


I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.

As an LCMHC and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, so congratulations on taking it! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but in the last decade, I have shifted my main focus to female and male clients aged 15-75 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms.

As a mother, I am invested in the wellness of all mothers and women and feel deep appreciation for the way mothers show up for countless others before themselves. I look forward to learning how I can walk alongside you in this journey.
