Treatment Approach

  • Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
  • Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
  • Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
  • Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
  • Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
Approach Description: In addition to traditional approaches, Joseph also has a specialty in integrating spiritual insights if client is interested in order to cultivate therapeutic growth. Joseph has a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and is open to utilizing spiritual and existential thinking in order to cultivate hope and optimism so as to enable clients to see beyond their particular struggles with mental health issues. Joseph believes that each client has enormous innate capacity to be healed given a trusting and supportive therapeutic environment.
