Welcome! My name is Joel Gides. I am a licensed professional counselor, trauma certified, and mindfulness instructor. I have 16+ years experience integrating meditation work and psychotherapy to adults with depression, anxiety, attention problems, relationship problems, unstable moods, and trauma. I maintain a growth-oriented view - honoring that each person travels their own unique journey through the spiral of their development. I love to see the moments of personal growth and transformation realized in each person through our work together, and aiding them toward their highest potentials.
My work is influenced by the integral model of Ken Wilber. I emphasize the client's experiential learning and insights. We will work to gain understanding of key issues and defenses that show up through exploring personal history, collaborate to set growth-oriented goals, and work with formal and informal mindfulness methods to actualize goals.
If you've been stuck in a cycle of depression, anxiety, trauma, unstable moods, relationship problems, difficulty being present and attentive, struggling to feel more energetic, hopeful, alive, and free of a past-focused life, please contact me.
