I am Dr. Joseph Olvera with Lighthouse Therapy Inc. and I know that seeking mental health services can feel like a challenging and, well, sometimes discouraging task that may leave you feeling like you’re lost at sea. You may be thinking… “Is this the right therapist for me?” “Does therapy even work?” “Will people think I’m weird for seeing a therapist?” “Can this therapist even help me?” I get it and I will meet you where you are, without judgement.
Whether your journey is managing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, family dynamics, or other life issues, I can help in building the skills necessary to help you navigate these problems, so you can make meaningful changes in your life. I specialize in working with individuals, including children and families.
Everyday, I enjoy going on this journey with people just like you. I believe everyone deserves a place where they can get kind and professional mental health services. If you are ready to have someone on your journey with you, call for a free consultation. I would love to hear from you, till then fair winds and smooth sailing.

I often use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in exploring how they can build the skills necessary to make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe the client has the potential within themselves to uncover strengths they didn't know they had.
