Hi there, I'm Joan, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been working in mental health for nearly 20 years. I spent 15 years working with the most seriously mentally ill patients and in-crisis services. After I retired 2 years ago, I choose to do teletherapy in order to reach those populations that have been underserved. I take a holistic approach to therapy which includes nutrition, mindfulness, play, and self-care. My usual approach is to start with mindfulness and building coping skills and integrate CBT into the process.
I use a direct, nonjudgemental, approach to therapy mixed with warmth and humor. I believe giving someone your full attention is a great gift.
My first session usually involves learning some quick coping skills that can be used immediately. I go into the hows and whys of therapy and what to expect from therapy. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
