Joey is a compassionate and dedicated therapist excited to support individuals ages 16+ on their journey towards healing and personal growth. Joey offers a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and challenges. Additionally, he values the power of humor in therapy, using it as a valuable tool to create a warm and supportive atmosphere. He also utilizes an empowering, upbeat, and personable approach to therapy that is tailored to each client’s specific needs. Joey has experience working with anxiety, depression, OCD, LGBTQ+ issues, life transitions, and self-esteem issues.
In his practice, Joey draws from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Joey is also trained with using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in helping treat diagnoses such as OCD, social anxiety, or other phobias.
Together, we can work to gain insights, take back control of your life, develop coping strategies, and achieve your therapeutic goals. I can't wait to meet you!
