Welcome! My name is Joel Gides. I am a licensed professional counselor, trauma-trained, and mindfulness instructor. I have 17+ 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.
My work is influenced by the integral model of Ken Wilber's Integral Life Practice; an integrated approach that incorporates the minimum necessary areas to include in making progress.
The Integral Life Practice includes the Body, Mind, Spirit, and Shadow (unconscious), both in our individual lives as well as in our social world. We will work to gain understanding of key issues and defenses that show up through exploring personal history, collaborate to set integrated goals, and incorporate mindfulness methods to actualize your goals.
I emphasize the client's experiential learning and insights as vital to the therapy process. 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. If you have been stuck and lost where to start, please contact me.
