Hello, my name is Joanna Pechal and I am a Licensed Social Worker. Therapy is an opportunity for clients to talk about their feelings in a nonjudgmental setting. My goal is to help my clients reframe their negative thoughts to better understand their feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I apply a variety of techniques such as mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy and Strengths Based Therapy and tailor them to meet my client's individual needs.
I am an experienced therapist with a demonstrated history with adolescents, adults, couples and families and can work with you to navigate complex emotional issues for those seeking a meaningful change. I have experience in dealing with anxiety, depression, divorce, RAD and trauma.
I understand that taking the first step toward healing is often the hardest & honor the courage it takes to seek support. Whether you’re navigating personal struggles, relationship dynamics, or family concerns, I am here to walk alongside you with care. If you’re ready to begin—or even just thinking about it—I invite you to to reach out. Your story matters!
