Dr. Joyce Wagner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW-R
As a therapist (with 25 years of experience) I endeavor to help my clients gain both the practical skills (often using those found in the CBT or DBT framework) as well as insight into the underlying issues that may be leading to their distress. I draw from various schools of psychological thought - including psychodynamic, supportive, existential, behavioral, developmental and family systems. I am a trained and certified trauma informed therapist and use EMDR when appropriate for resolving past or present trauma.

I utilize music, art, play therapy and mindfulness, as well as traditional talk therapy, to foster self-expression and exploration in order to access and process challenging experiences, while nurturing self-discovery, acceptance, self-compassion & forgiveness. Much of my experience is in working with young children with emotional and behavioral challenges, often experiencing trauma or neglect, as well as adults.
