Finding a therapist who really gets it
is difficult.
I get it.
A REAL CONNECTION
IS TELETHERAPY WITH JOSEPH RIGHT FOR ME?
If you're visiting this website, you're at a crossroads. That means whether you decide to work with Joseph or someone else, it's time to take a step toward healing.
The best way to decide whether Joseph is a good therapist for you is to chat with him on the phone; use that free 20 minutes to see if this is right for you.
TAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT ANYWHERE
HOW DOES TELETHERAPY WORK?
If you have an internet connection and a phone or computer, you can do teletherapy. Schedule an appointment and you'll receive a packet of forms via e-mail to read and sign right on your screen. You'll also receive e-mail confirmation with the day and time of your therapy session and the link you'll click to join it.
We first offered teletherapy in 2018, and since then, clients from 12 to 93 have been pleasantly surprised. Busy folks appreciate not rushing around in traffic. Parents and caregivers are relieved to honor their own well-being while just a room away from the loved ones in their care. These days, teletherapy is all we do.
WHY WORK WITH JOSEPH?
ABOUT ME
On the way to becoming a therapist I've been a musician, high school teacher, construction worker, and a manager in a department store... which is so much harder than it may sound.
This work though, this is what has taken center stage in my life. Why? Nothing has felt as real as connecting with people at such a deep level and witnessing their growth. It's an honor that I don't take for granted.
EXPERIENCE
Based in San Diego, I work with people from all over California.
After working in a variety of mental health settings, I wasn't sure teletherapy could deliver the same therapeutic experience, but right away my doubts were put to rest. My clients report feeling connected despite the fact we meet on-screen rather than in the same room, and if they feel good about it, I feel good about it.
I work with an extremely diverse group of people, both in lived experience and lifestyle.
My own life experience has taught me that you can be a single punk rock drummer with pretty cool hair and before you know it, your kids are adults and you're caregiving for your elderly mother with dementia. Our lives are full of change. Sometimes it's by design, sometimes it's unexpected.
Therapy is a turning point.
I was inspired to become a therapist after having a transformative experience with my own therapist back in the 90s. I can't say that he was my only therapist, and I can't say that all of my experiences were great. I can say that finding the therapist who's right for YOU is really important if you want real results. Let's have a conversation to learn whether I can help you and you are comfortable with me.
