Marriage & Family Therapist

Helping you Navigate

Hi, I’m Todd Harvey!
The best part of my job is that I get to use my skills to support people and help them on their journey. Sometimes that is TOWARDS something.  Sometimes that is away from the trauma that has plagued them for years.

Training

  • I’ve participated in conferences and training with some of the leading Couples Counselors in the field including John Gottman, Sue Johnson, Dan Wile, and others.
  • Hakomi Institute of California Professional Training Program 
  • Re-Creation of the Self Training by John Eisman
  • Attachment Training by the Hakomi Institute of California
  • Conferences on Marriage, (Focusing on Attachment and Infidelity)
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)  – Trauma Level I and II trainings.

  • I also have participated in First Presbyterian Berkeley’s Counseling Center, (now Berkeley Christian Counselors), and have received training for a year at the Center for Psychotherapy, Spirituality, and Creativity.

I believe in constantly upgrading my game.  I am abnormal compared to most experienced therapists in that over the past 10 years I have participated in non-required professional consultation with other therapists averaging four hours a week (Over 2,000 hours).

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.
