He LISTENS to what I have to say, and he responds to me like I matter. He does not try to throw terms at me and hope something sticks, he actually listens to me, and he has adjusted therapy techniques so that they make sense for me. I've never had a therapist for more than 3/4 sessions because I usually lose trust in them for their lack of attention and their lack of desire to help me. However, I really enjoy Harvey, and I would like him to be my therapist for as long as I can have him.

More about Harvey
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
Hi, my name is Harvey Norris. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with a wide range of client concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and suicide. I specialize in dealing with Trauma, Veterans, and Active Duty service members.
My counseling approach is person centered and I am warm and compassionate. I treat everybody with dignity and respect. I believe when I meet a new client my role is to “start where they are” and help them move forward along the path They want. I try very hard to avoid labels that stigmatize all humans.
Change and tackling your issues takes courage and strength. Shaping your life to become more fulfilled and happy is very difficult. I appreciate you taking this opportunity to reach out to me and see if we can work together to help you be all that you can be.
On a personal level, I have been married to the same wonderful woman since 1994 and we have a relationship that reaches back to 1989. We have five beautiful but stubborn children, trying to navigate forward in these chaotic times. I live in a nice house "owned" by my terrier (dog) named "Scruffy" or "Mr. Scruffles" who generously allows my family to live here with him.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Harvey is a great therapist though, I'll preface that he is a great therapist for me. Harvey's insight and knowledge with psychology has been incredibly helpful when diving into different subject matters. He provides perspective and assistance when looking into situations differently, which for me has been a huge help, both in my short term issues as well as long term. He is not afraid to be direct, provide hypotheses into behavior and propose solutions. This is something I personally appreciate and look for in a therapist. If this type of therapy sounds good to you, Harvey is your therapist.
Excellent Consular , listen carefully and understand before giving the advise
Harvey was friendly, honest, easy to talk to, and found a way to make me comfortable in our sessions. He seemed to find a way to find common ground to build that bridge for communication. I highly recommend this man.
Harvey is very approachable and accessible. He is laid back but incredibly knowledgeable. He walks you through how the brain develops and what methods you will be using together to address your mental health issues. I had a very pleasant and productive first session.
Best therapist I’ve ever had. I truly feel like I’m making progress
He is great. He really helps me figure out what I am looking for
I am so grateful for having Harvey as support in my life! He listens well, he understands my needs and what areas of my life require attention. He is kind, funny, and I always walk away from our sessions feeling better than before or as though I’ve had an epiphany.
Harvey is very disarming and I felt so not judged. He is funny and made me feel hilarious! I am grateful for his time and attention :)
