More about Joseph
- 9 years' experience
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have provided talk therapy to adult individuals for over a decade. I have spent my entire career in the medical and mental health fields, supporting numerous individuals stuck in the emotional and psychological ache of overwhelming stress, anxiety, and depression.
My philosophy of therapy is to partner with my clients in their journey of self-exploration and healing. I believe we have the knowledge and ability to overcome the issues that trouble us and help clients identify, develop, and mobilize their resources to solve problems and meet challenges successfully.
My approach to therapy involves assisting my clients in increasing self-awareness, moving away from outdated and unproductive internal messaging, to develop new and healthy ways of relating to others and the world. My style is direct, genuine, empathic, and intuitive. I value diversity and building strong, trusting relationships with my clients.
