Psychotherapy Rooted in Experience, Insight, and Human Connection

I am Harvey Siegel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over fifty years of experience as a psychotherapist. My practice is grounded in a psychodynamic, relational, and integrative approach — one shaped by years of training education and clinical experience. I hold certifications in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, group therapy, and somatic psychotherapy and eating disorders.  I have spent my career working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and the profound challenges of life in transition.

At the heart of my work is a core belief that psychotherapy is dedicated to the process of becoming. I see the therapeutic relationship not as a place to fix what is broken, but as a space in which people come to know themselves more fully — and through that knowing are able to live life more fully. I bring both rigor, compassion and genuine warmth to that journey, and I am honored to walk it alongside you.

I work with individuals who are navigating a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including:

Change doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right support, it becomes possible.

We live in a time of quick fixes, apps, hacks, shortcuts to feeling better. And sometimes that’s enough.

But some struggles run deeper. A persistent sense that something is missing. Patterns that repeat no matter how hard you try to change them. Relationships that wound in familiar ways. A life that looks fine from the outside but feels uncomfortable within. Difficult life transitions. For these, something more is needed.

Psychotherapy offers something rare: a relationship built entirely around you — your unique being, your history, your longings, your strengths and weaknesses, your inner life and your joy, pain and struggles and future goals.  In that space, real understanding becomes possible. Not just insight, but the kind of lived, felt change that reaches into how you experience yourself and others. Psychotherapy should be about becoming. Moving oneself into a better future. 

I’ve been doing this work for over fifty years. What continues to move me is the courage it takes to look honestly at oneself and what becomes possible when someone feels truly witnessed and understood by a trained experienced compassionate therapist. People don’t just feel better. They become more alive, more fully themselves, more authentic. My hope that as one feels less need to fit in to socially prescribed  boxes one is able to celebrate who they truly are. Psychotherapy is a subversive activity . It challenges your way of seeing the world, hopefully to open you up new vistas and possibilities.
