Philosophy of Care
Whether she is working with a child struggling in school, a young adult navigating major life transitions, or a mother feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenthood, Dr. Harvey believes a holistic, evidence-based approach is essential to understanding the full picture.
Alongside psychiatric symptoms, she considers sleep, physical health, relationships, family dynamics, daily routines, screen time, nutrition, stressors, and life circumstances. From there, she and the client develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, lifestyle changes, therapy recommendations, and collaboration with other members of the care team when appropriate.
Children & Adolescents (Ages 6–18)
When working with this population, Dr. Harvey looks beyond behaviors and symptoms to understand the many factors that may be affecting a young person’s emotional well-being. She partners closely with parents and caregivers while collaborating with therapists, schools, and other members of a child’s support system. She frequently works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism, behavioral challenges, and difficulties related to emotional regulation and school functioning.
Young Adults
Young adulthood can be an exciting time of growth and self-discovery, but it can also bring significant stress and uncertainty. Dr. Harvey helps young adults navigate academic, career, relationship, and life transitions while building confidence, resilience, and healthy coping strategies. Common areas of support include anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related symptoms, stress, burnout, and relationship challenges.
Women’s Mental Health, Pregnancy & Postpartum
Motherhood is beautiful and fulfilling, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. Dr. Harvey’s goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can openly discuss the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that may be difficult to share with others. She supports women experiencing anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and adjustment challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
Clinical Background
Dr. Harvey’s ten years of nursing experience span psychiatric and pediatric care settings, including UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and BAYADA Pediatrics. That combination of inpatient psychiatric and pediatric nursing shapes how she approaches medication management today: attentive to development, family context, and physical health as well as psychiatric symptoms.
