Sara Harvey, LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She has a long history working in community settings and nonprofit services focused on families and children. Sara lists areas such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and compassion fatigue among her clinical concerns.

Before moving into private practice work, she spent many years providing in-home, school, and community-based support for children and families. That background shaped how she approaches difficult life events and ongoing family stressors. She has specific experience with attachment concerns, bonding between caregivers and infants, and trauma-focused interventions.

Sara uses a mix of methods to match a person's needs. Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she tends to focus on practical steps people can try, understanding patterns in close relationships, and addressing past hurts that affect daily life.

People who come to her often want help with setting boundaries, dealing with heavy caregiving roles, or recovering from loss and misuse in relationships. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, aging issues, loneliness, and career stress. Discussions in a first session typically cover what matters most now and what small changes feel doable.

Sara asks people to consider whether her mixture of attachment work and trauma-focused care fits their needs. She explains options clearly and works collaboratively on goals. To begin, the site matching process and an initial appointment are the usual next steps.
