Alan Harvey(He/Him/His)

Alan Harvey, LMSW (He/Him) is a queer, Latino therapist licensed in New York and working at The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project (SAT Project) in NYC. During Alan's undergrad at New York University, he worked towards becoming an actor and then a playwright. When he graduated, he worked in reality TV up until the pandemic. Alan was motivated to explore the world of social work when I saw how bad mental health was for so many of the people around him, and started working for a homeless outreach team and instantly knew that this was the field he wanted to work in. Alan received his Master's of Social Work from New York University.

Alan's therapy sessions are a place where you can dig deep into your life and explore the emotions and patterns that impact you today. He places a lot of emphasis on your emotions: how you feel during the stories you tell, and what it feels like to be sharing them with me. He brings in elements of talk therapy and attachment theory, emotional processing, mindfulness, coping skills, storytelling, trauma-work and more. Alan specialize in issues surrounding sex and intimacy, anxiety, grief, and trauma, and proudly work with artists and members of the LGBTQ+ community! Alan has psychodynamic training and is an Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Level 1 therapist.

Alan doesn’t take the same approach with every client, so you’ll join together and tailor an approach specifically for you. That might mean diving deep into your past experiences, learning skills, or even walking together through Central Park. His office is located by Columbus Circle and he has both in-person and virtual availability. Reach out to schedule a free consultation!
