Harvey Norris

Harvey Norris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Louisiana with 35 years of experience in the mental health field. Over his career he has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and issues related to suicide. He also has focused experience supporting veterans and active duty service members.

His specialties include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and coaching. Harvey takes a person-centered approach, offering a warm and compassionate presence while treating each person with dignity and respect.

When meeting someone new he seeks to “start where they are” and to help them move forward along the path they choose. He avoids labels that can stigmatize people and focuses on practical, individualized work to address the concerns clients bring.

Harvey recognizes that change requires courage and strength, and that shaping a more fulfilled and happier life can be difficult. He appreciates when people reach out to explore whether working together might help them reach their goals.

He is licensed as a clinical social worker in both Florida and Louisiana, holding licenses SW8113 and 14331 respectively. On a personal note, Harvey has been married to the same partner since 1994, with a relationship that began in 1989. They have five children, and share their home with a terrier named Scruffy, sometimes called “Mr. Scruffles,” who good-naturedly behaves as if he owns the house.
