Welcome, I'm Joel Stephen, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and mental health advocate dedicated to helping individuals overcome trauma and navigate crises. My passion for mental health advocacy was ignited when I experienced the profound impact of crisis intervention during my career as a Special Agent with the FBI. Now retired, my experiences, including facing my own mental health challenges through trauma, have deeply influenced my approach to therapy.
I specialize in supporting individuals facing mental health challenges, including trauma, grief, depression, and crises of all kinds. My therapeutic approach is evidence-based and tailored to meet each client's unique needs. I integrate talk therapy, CBT, DBT, and solutions-based strategies to create a safe and nurturing environment for healing and growth.
I believe in the power of personalized support and advocacy to empower individuals and promote mental wellness. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel understood, supported, and equipped with the tools to navigate life's challenges.
