Josh Bird, MA, tLMHC, is a counselor in Dubuque, Iowa. Josh practices therapy in an adaptive fashion using mixed techniques dependent upon the client's stage of development. When working with clients, Josh aims to treat from a "whole-being" perspective through integration of clients' worlds containing myriad factors affecting mental health. Josh argues that within the therapy space he provides for clients, the clients are assured to feel they have entered a safe vessel for emotional expression, with a safe individual capable of empathetic understanding, validation, and recognition.
Josh fully believes “play,” is the culture of children, and Josh addresses play as a valuable tool when working with younger clients, identifying the language and themes client playstyles provide. Josh adapts his therapy approach based upon client needs and capacities, aiming for the most effective and meaningful pathway towards client well-being.
Josh's initial goal is to establish himself as a trustworthy person. Once trust has been built, Josh works with client as a teammate and an equal. Through joint reflection, the client and Josh work together, and instill increased autonomy and an understanding of the client's own strength to overcome the varied issues life may provide.
