New Therapist Offering Optional Faith-Based Sessions Joins IHCWV

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Harvey L. West joins Integrated Health Centers of West Virginia (IHCWV), providing therapy sessions to individuals, couples, and families in person at IHCWV West Union Campus and via virtual sessions. Faith-based sessions are available upon request.

Harvey earned his Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Religion from Ohio Valley College in 1992. Later, he furthered his education by receiving his master’s degree in social work from WVU of Charleston in 2002.

Upon the completion of his master’s degree, he began his professional career working as a therapist at a community crisis stabilization unit for children, adolescents, and adults. He remained in this role for the next four years before moving into private practice. Here, he provided mental health services to individuals, couples, and families aged 6 and above. He proceeded from private practice to working in an inpatient hospital in the behavioral health unit for ages 18 and above. Harvey then returned to working for private facilities providing therapy services. He then began offering treatment services at a federally qualified health center, where he remained for a year and a half, working with individuals, couples, and families. He joined IHCWV as a behavioral health therapist in late 2024. 

Harvey will be working with individuals, couples, and families, mainly adults aged 18 and above, as well as children and adolescents, on a limited basis. He works with his patients to cope with and manage all sorts of mental health disorders, anger management, and behavior problems, and helping couples and families. He also encourages patients who are interested in looking into a good spiritual relationship if they don’t already have one, “because God is the Great Physician.”
