OUR FOUNDER
A. Maurice Harvey, LCSW, LISW-CP
A. Maurice Harvey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving the Greater Charlotte community with expertise in adult life transitions and couples therapy. After earning his Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from UNC-Charlotte in 2008 and his Master of Social Work (MSW) from Winthrop University in 2013, Maurice built diverse experience across human services—from group homes and community mental health agencies to transitional housing programs and county social services. As a former Mecklenburg County Social Worker, he supported formerly homeless individuals transitioning into stable housing.
Today, Maurice owns and operates Choose B.E.T.T.E.R. 4 U, PLLC, where he provides therapy services, speaks at professional events, and offers consulting through a lens of clinical development.
In 2022, he founded Black Male Therapists of Charlotte, Inc. (BMTCLT), realizing his decade-long vision to create a network of licensed Black male clinicians committed to improving individual and community mental health throughout Charlotte.
