Hi, I’m Dr. Josh Gonsher, a licensed clinical psychologist with a warm, down-to-earth approach to healing. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, worry, and stress—not by fighting their symptoms, but by creating a new internal landscape where those struggles no longer take center stage. My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy. I don’t just help clients “fix” thoughts or behaviors—I work with them to build a more meaningful life, one where old patterns and problems naturally begin to lose their grip. It’s about shifting the frame, not just adjusting the picture.

You’re a high-achieving professional who seems to have it all together, but inside, you’re struggling to keep up with the demands of your life. You juggle a demanding career, while raising children, and caring for aging parents. You constantly worry, your sleep is restless, and overwhelm feels like your middle name. The chronic fatigue, irritability, and feelings of inadequacy are constant. Your relationships are strained because you’re not showing up as your best self, and despite your outward success, you often feel stuck, unfulfilled, and like you're failing the people who matter most.

Perhaps you feel a quiet nagging—a sense that there's a more vibrant, authentic version of you waiting to emerge. You may be successful yet feel held back by self-doubt, anxiety, or worn-out relational patterns. You don't just want to "fix" a problem; you seek a journey toward wholeness. You are looking for a safe harbor where you can explore your inner world, shed the layers that no longer serve you, and rediscover your innate capacity for joy, connection, and peace. I believe the best therapy helps us remember and reinforce the strengths already within us, while compassionately creating space to integrate parts that hold us back.

“Darkness, the one thing we all understand” (Anastasio/Marshall)
“Out of the darkness comes light like a flash” (Matthews) -

Delving into our thoughts and feelings takes courage but can also shed new light!

You feel a growing disconnect between the life you’re living and the peace you know is possible. Whether you are an individual drowning in "what-ifs," a couple struggling to find a shared language, or someone navigating the heavy fog of grief, you are tired of the "status quo." My ideal clients are high-achievers and deep-thinkers who are ready to stop managing their symptoms and start mastering their lives.

Our lives are filled with grief related to death, loss, life changes and transitions, yet we live in a grief-illiterate culture that wants to bypass pain at all costs, leaving us unprepared to navigate grief when we experience it. When looked at through the lens of loss, many emotional states that plague us – anxiety, depression, trauma – can be tied to unresolved grief in our lives. Healing comes from allowing ourselves to grieve all our losses in order to reshape ourselves and our lives.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
