Your prayer has been answered! Hi, I am Eric Joseph, welcome to Total Therapy Today LLC. I have 21 years of pastoral and 12 years of clinical experience working with many individuals struggling with various life issues. The work of ministry for pastors and lay leaders can add more stress. The truth is that being a born again Christian do not make us immune to those struggles which are usually manifested as anxiety, depression and other mental and emotional difficulties. This makes professional Christian counseling not just a therapeutic process but a ministry to the body of Christ—so we will begin and end every session with prayer.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you a man who is really hard on himself? Are you exhausted trying to keep everyone happy? Overwhelmed by work, family or other demands? You could be someone questioning life decisions (getting caught in "I wish I had done..."). You could also be someone who obsesses or is anxious and unable to stop the cycle.

Welcome! It is normal for us to encounter ups and downs in our lives. Emotions can become difficult to handle; we may become overwhelmed. Sometimes we develop thought patterns that can make us feel as though there is a battle going on inside of us. We may engage in behaviors that work against us as we strive to meet our goals--goals like having the kinds of relationships we want for ourselves. A competent therapist is someone who can, with genuine curiosity and compassion, help you get yourself back on track. My goal is to help folks rediscover and apply the essential skills they need to stay on track.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
