Hi, I’m Joel and I look forward to meeting clients where they are with a person-centered approach to therapy. My approach is to balance focus on your strengths as well as your needs and hardships at the time of starting therapy in order to chart and navigate a path towards your goals.
I use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) techniques often, while incorporating your belief system and cultural identity to approach life with a holistic mindset. I hold a bachelor’s in communications and a master of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. This education compliments my diverse work history prior to mental health, enabling me to relate better to those in need. In the mental health profession, I’ve worked in rehabilitation centers, prison ministry, remote therapy practices, and in court ordered therapy with families in need.
