Eric V. Harwell is a Crisis & Trauma Clinical Mental Health Therapist in private practice with decades of experience helping those who need mental and emotional support services. He is known for his love and compassion for people in need of healing from life’s pains. He helps those that suffer with issues stemming from Depression, Anxiety, and Grief & Loss to those that suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Bi-Bipolar. He does extensive work with state agencies on behalf of children and families. To his credit he has served as a Child Protection Investigator (DCFS), Behavior Interventionist Specialist, and Family Reunification Counselor. Further, he provides counseling support services for families managing with Foster Care, Post Adoption, Separation, and Divorce needs.

Featured in Ebony Magazine on the state of mental health crisis in Black and Brown communities that are suffering from daily traumatic conditions. To support our urban youth, he has provided mentoring services in the Chicago Public Schools. The mentoring program PIES embodies the Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social development of children.

He also responds to national crises around the country when catastrophes strike. He is one of the certified Mental Health Leaders with the American Red Cross. He has served in natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, and the mass murder on the campus of Northern Illinois University. He also works with many of our Military Veterans as they return from deployment. Harwell always seeks to address the “Elephants in the Middle of the Room.” The elephants are social ills that many people know about, but very few are willing acknowledge and even fewer are willing to deal with. He sees Human Trafficking as a huge problem in the Black and Brown communities, so he generates as much awareness and action around the issue to help to eradicate it for good.
