Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
When appropriate, I take a harm-reduction approach to alcohol use—focusing on realistic, personalized strategies that meet you where you are. This might include exploring goals beyond strict abstinence, especially if traditional all-or-nothing models haven’t felt like the right fit. The emphasis is on making meaningful changes that support your well-being, not perfection.

I walk alongside individuals struggling with addiction and substance abuse by helping them uncover the deeper wounds, pain, shame, and unmet needs often driving destructive behaviors. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and faith-based approach, I help clients build emotional awareness, develop healthier coping skills, restore identity and self-worth, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with hope, purpose, and healing in Christ.
