I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

I primarily work with individuals struggling with addiction, intrusive thoughts, unwanted sexual behavior, and challenges with developing and maintaining intimacy. I also have expertise in dealing with childhood trauma, particularly male childhood sexual abuse. My work with clients centers around clarifying their connection with their intuition. In doing so, I focus on creating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where one can freely express their thoughts and feelings and begin to truly understand their internal experience.

Are you concerned with aspects of your behavior and want to understand their root causes? Are you and your partner needing guidance to work through challenges in your relationship and improve the quality and depth of your intimacy? Are you wanting to feel more safe and at home in your own skin? I view counseling as a sacred container which supports your innate healing capacity to emerge. Just as a doctor does not “heal” a broken bone, therapy does not heal the wounds of the heart and soul. Instead, we create a safe space together in which your powerful inner healing capacity is supported to emerge.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through life's challenges, I specialize in anxiety, men's issues, and life transitions. My passion lies in empowering people to conquer their anxieties, understand men's unique emotional struggles, and navigate life's transitions with grace. I've witnessed the transformative power of counseling, and I want to be that unwavering support for others. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your concerns and fears.

Accepting new clients! Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health by seeking the right therapist. Finding the right therapist is all about finding a great fit. Please allow me a moment to introduce myself. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling. All clients are unique, so I tailor my approach to best meet your needs with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which connects thoughts to feelings and behavior, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) which are skills to help manage stress and emotions. I hope to help you overcome the obstacles you face and achieve your goals!

I specialize in helping you see your value and the power of combining personal accountability with kind self awareness. I have experience helping people navigate a breadth of issues including anxiety, depression, severe and persistent mental illness, trauma, grief, transitions, and co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. Above all, I believe that a genuine, honest, supportive, and caring therapeutic relationship is essential to healing and recovery. It is my aim to help you to unlock your strengths and expertise in becoming your fullest, most joyful self.

I specialize in treating people experiencing relational challenges, life transitions, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use issues. The healing journey is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so I draw on my training in EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, attachment therapy, somatic therapy, wilderness therapy, Polyvagal theory, and addictions counseling to best meet you where you are in your process. Let's work together to co-create an individualized plan for you.

Holistic & Spiritual Counseling & Dream Work. Relationship conflicts and pain? Grief and sorrow in your heart? Disturbing, crazy, scary dreams? Anxiety, depression, loneliness, trauma? You don't have to go it alone! You may be emotionally/spiritually exhausted, wounded by rigid religion and fundamentalism. You may carry anguish about your inner self, the awful voices of shame, guilt, helplessness. Our outer world of war, violence, racism, homophobia, environmental destruction is often despairing! Let's work together for your courageous authenticity, to heal your inner and outer worlds, a life filled with healing, meaning and joy.

The passion for the work that I do comes from my deep conviction that everyone can benefit from, and in fact deserves, a safe space to be truly heard, seen, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and have experience/ training in supporting clients struggling with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, shame, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. I do not ascribe to a one size fits all model of therapy and believe every client to be unique both in terms of there personal goals for therapy and the best way to help them reach these goals

I'm a clinical psychologist providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. If you're here, then you're probably looking for a change. Life can be unpredictable, complicated, and demanding. Low self-esteem, unpleasant moods, challenging relationships, and academic/professional stressors can be difficult to navigate alone. Together we can determine what a change may look like for you and develop strategies for moving towards that change. I view therapy as a collaborative process -- a joint effort towards feeling more connected, satisfied, and adaptable. I work with professionals, students, artists, musicians, parents, and many other individuals.

Life is full of ups and downs and neither need be feared. Despite our best efforts, we cannot avoid suffering. Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand our lives. It can help us learn to recognize patterns of seeking safety at the cost of aliveness. My clients often are seeking relief from anxiety and stress, or working with specific challenges, including substance abuse, relationship challenges, career difficulties and life transitions. I work with individuals who are seeking to develop greater spiritual awareness and more joy in life. If you are looking change careers or want to find meaning in life, I can help.

Are you ready to be transformed by this work? Are you ready for deep, lasting change? Do you have a nagging sense that there's more you need to experience & offer? If some or all of these are true of you, we may be a fit. If you're willing to humbly SHOW UP to the work, learn & grow, be accountable, especially when it's hard, let’s talk. I’m a guide, coach, & mentor that helps people like you find their soul's purpose & the work that’s yours to do, while cultivating more aliveness & deep, meaningful connections with those you're closest to & with the natural world. If this feels like you, reach out to me; we've got good work to do.

With over four decades of experience as an Addiction Specialist, Joseph brings a depth of clinical knowledge and perspective to his counseling practice that is rare. After 15 years of agency work, Joseph went into private practice in 1997. He obtained National Certification as a mental health professional and now combines his expertise with addictive processes with a holistic understanding of how these processes occur within a bigger milieu - often defined through unresolved grief and trauma. He has come to believe, that as human beings, we all have addictive tendencies that can connect us to deeper aspirations and dreams.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years experience working with adolescents and adults. My areas of focus are with anxiety, depression, substance abuse/addictions, life transitions, ADD/ADHD and low motivation/self-esteem. I support individuals in working through their barriers, creating healthy coping skills, helping to establish a true sense of self, connection within relationships and within ones community. In addition, I am a trained Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapist and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP) who offers preparation and integration support for psychedelic use.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

My orientation is one of a deep respect for emotion - along with a practical emphasis on the present moment. What are we seeking? What is blocking us? In my experience (as a psychologist for 20 years), I’ve come to appreciate the power in providing an intense, caring, therapeutic focus on the emotional field that gives rise to stubborn patterns of feeling, thoughts, and behaviors. A gentle, respectful, persistent exploration of the origins and reach of attendant anxiety, stress, trauma or sadness, has the potential to loosen rigid, dysfunctional holds.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/development, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships. I use specialized cognitive, client centered, and somatic approaches. For details please see www.newtranspersonalpsychotherapy.com

I know no better medicine than to help each other feel seen, accepted, and made to feel safe. Humans are pack creatures, that tend to do better in pairs and groups. However our skills to authentically and securely attach have become illusive in today's world. Through building real connection with your therapist, you can find real insight, real healing, and true growth. I also work in the CDOC (in prison) with violent offenders, and those with serous criminal history. I think you'll find there's no issue I'm not equipped to deal with. Been practicing for 15 years, and I've helped all walks of people.

Welcome to this journey regardless if therapy is new or familiar to you. I strive to create a compassionate, kind, yet appropriately challenging space for self-acceptance, transformation, and insight. Through relational and cultural lenses that include awareness and mindfulness as ground, I believe all obstacles and challenges can be explored. I hope to walk with you along this path of discovering your innate wisdom, potential for growth, healing, and transformation.
