Sara Harvey, LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and related challenges.

She spent much of her early career at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families. That work involved meeting children ages 4 to 17 and their caregivers where they lived, learned, and played. This shaped her focus on attachment, bonding, and practical supports for families and caregivers.

Sara uses approaches that focus on how relationships affect feelings and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ways of thinking about relationships and trauma-focused work to help people process difficult events. Cognitive behavioral methods are part of her toolbox when clients want straightforward strategies to manage anxious thoughts and behaviors.

Her background includes work in infant mental health, with attention to the bond between an infant and primary caregiver. She also has experience helping with parenting stress, caregiver issues, grief, addiction-related concerns, chronic health challenges, and problems like isolation or communication breakdowns.

In sessions she keeps language plain and practical. Conversations center on current problems, patterns in relationships, and small steps someone can try between meetings. People often begin by identifying one or two goals and then use evidence-informed methods to practice new responses over time.
