I am Randall Harvey, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wright State University. Raised in a military family, I experienced my own challenges during my youth.

My journey in helping others began with a summer spent in an inner-city community, where I felt a calling from God to pursue a vocation of service. This path led me to pastoral counseling, including serving as a chaplain at the VA. During this time, I had the privilege of working closely with Veterans coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, loss, and substance abuse issues.

Inspired by these experiences, I pursued further education in counseling. As your therapist, counselor, and coach, I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life – the one you deserve. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, with a focus on empowering you to identify and address the challenges causing emotional and psychological distress.

I have received specialized training in Trauma-Informed Care and Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, which I integrate into my practice to help clients achieve meaningful change. Client feedback often highlights my compassionate and supportive approach, facilitating a safe space for healing and growth.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy snuggling with my dog, and visiting family all around the world.

Meet Caroline!

Hey there, I’m Molly and I have had the privilege of helping individuals grow in a variety of settings. I work with clients dealing with workplace burnout (I see you healthcare workers!), trauma, depression, anxiety, and those in recovery from addiction. I have worked with clients in outpatient and inpatient settings since 2010.

I would identify myself as a Trauma-Informed therapist and work from that lens. I am interested in different types of therapy including person centered, IFS, CBT, DBT, logo therapy, as different therapies offer new ways of looking at problems and unique techniques to help you reach your goals.

Have you been to therapy before and come out of a session and felt like everything just organized and you have clarity? Maybe this is your first go at therapy. I want to build a relationship with you to work on your goals. I want you to feel like you have accomplished something and are working towards wellness.
