Find a Therapist in United States

If you would like to work with a compassionate, non-judgmental person who is honestly interested in you and your well-being, please contact me. I will use my deep listening skills, sense of presence, specialized techniques, education and advanced studies, empathy, intuition, and insight to help you. I have a strong Jungian influence and also employed for over a decade as a full-time hospice grief counselor working with all types of loss. Dream groups forming. Certified clinical hypnotherapist. Qualified Supervisor, Florida.  

To change, to grow, to connect, to stay connected, to be the very best of yourself are the reasons to come into therapy. Those issues are at the center of my work. Understanding how you got here, where you want to go, and how to get there. We begin with the here and now, and slowly, at your own pace, unpeel the proverbial onion (which is know to cause tears) and you create your life without barriers.  

Unresolved trauma can affect many areas of life, often showing up as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, relationship challenges, or chronic illness. I specialize in trauma counseling and work with individuals who want to better understand these patterns and move toward meaningful healing. Together we focus on building resilience, insight, and practical tools for lasting change. My work as a therapist is devoted to helping people understand and heal from the lasting effects of trauma. These experiences may appear in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming, including difficulty concentrating, chronic stress, feeling stuck, impulsive behaviors, relational struggles, addictions, and ongoing physical symptoms such as chronic pain or illness. In therapy, we take time to explore how past experiences continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and families navigating serious health challenges, including cancer. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive environment where healing can unfold and where you can develop greater clarity, resilience, and hope for the future.  

You may look like you have it together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or constantly questioning yourself. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship stress, or feeling emotionally exhausted despite appearing capable to others. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping you better understand the deeper patterns behind your struggles while also giving you concrete tools to create meaningful change and feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life.  

If you're looking for someone to validate everything you're already thinking, I'm probably not your therapist. But if you're ready to actually look at what's keeping you stuck — in your relationships, your patterns, your story — then we might be a really good fit. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist, pre-marital counselor and marriage and family therapist by KC Magazine, The Pitch KC and the Kansas City Star. I work with individuals, couples and families who are done just surviving and ready to understand themselves at a deeper level. Therapy here is warm, direct and honest — sometimes uncomfortably so. That's the point.  

I am a therapist that specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief and loss, and a variety of inner conflicts that diminish the joy of living. I will focus on establishing goals for your personal needs, healthy coping skills and develop positive growth utilizing confidentiality, trust and a non-judgmental atmosphere. I have a holistic approach to counseling, evaluating the whole person from both their inner and outer characteristics. I believe both clinical and the spiritual dynamics of therapy go hand in hand. I will provide effective therapy to each client according to your uniqueness and need.  

I help clients cultivate self-compassion, insight, and self-efficacy while exploring how life experiences, relationships, and patterns may contribute to current challenges. Together, we work toward healing in an environment grounded in kindness, humor, and empathy.  

What drives me in this work is both personal and professional. My own life experiences, and the meaningful relationships I’ve built along the way, have greatly shaped how I show up as a counselor. I’m inspired daily by the courage I see in my clients—their ability to overcome obstacles, heal from trauma, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. That transformation is what motivates me to do this work with care, dedication, and hope. I believe that we aren’t meant to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. Whether you’re a young adult struggling with identity, purpose, or relationships—or a parent trying to break generational patterns while raising a family—therapy can be a powerful place for healing. I work with motivated individuals and families who want to create healthier patterns and more fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients are navigating low self-worth, recovering from abusive relationships, or experiencing the transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating complex emotions, identity questions, or past trauma. I'm Joseph LaFleur, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the clinical director of District Counseling and Psychotherapy, serving clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. **My Approach** I specialize in helping men who often feel pressure to "have it together" find space to process what's really going on beneath the surface. Many of my clients come to me after years of pushing through—only to realize that approach isn't sustainable. Whether you're working through relationship challenges, career stress, depression, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma, I offer a grounded, direct therapeutic style that respects your time and intelligence. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I work extensively with gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating identity, relationships, and the unique stressors that come with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. My practice is a space where you can show up exactly as you are. **Specialized Training** Beyond traditional talk therapy, I'm trained in Somatic Experiencing (SEP), which addresses how trauma lives in the body—not just the mind. For clients interested in emerging treatments, I'm also a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider (CPTAP), offering psychedelic integration therapy to help you make meaning from transformative experiences with ketamine, psilocybin, or other medicines. **What to Expect** I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative and practical. You won't find endless reflection without direction here. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build concrete strategies for lasting change—while honoring the deeper emotional work that real transformation requires. If you're ready to invest in yourself, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.  

My job is to hold up an accurate mirror. A good therapist helps you to become more aware of and access the skills and strengths you have, and is not afraid to point out the barriers to progress that you are experiencing.  

We all experience periods in our lives—whether moments, days, or even years—when additional support can be helpful. My approach is collaborative, and I work closely with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals and support meaningful progress. I am Board Certified in Counseling and Forensics, and I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT, and traditional talk therapy to help clients move toward the changes they want to see in their lives. I am fully licensed to practice in Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.  

I regard psychotherapy as a sacred practice, a place of ongoing devotion. Each session becomes a ritual space where creativity, playfulness, and curiosity are welcomed in the exploration of the psyche. By staying present and returning again and again to openness, the unknown can be transformed into meaning. This process often carries us into the work of intergenerational healing, allowing energy to return as we reconnect with our roots and uncover our truest selves. In my work with couples, I bring the same relational lens that shapes my individual sessions. A relationship already exists in the room, and I enter into that field with care, gradually weaving myself into its trust. Relational therapy, for me, means working with what is alive in the “here and now,” while also tracing those patterns back to their origins in the “there and then.” Humor and warmth remain vital companions in this work, helping clients stay resourced as we navigate difficult terrain together. My path as a therapist has been shaped by a commitment to both social and spiritual liberation. My training in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies grounded me in depth psychology, while my years in community mental health equipped me with cultural humility, liberation psychology, and healing justice frameworks. Earlier work as a birth worker continues to inform my perspective, reminding me that therapy often mirrors the process of bringing something new into being. I believe every person deserves to rediscover belonging — within themselves, within their bodies, and within the larger web of community and world. In our sessions, you will be supported in recovering what has been lost and discovering what longs to emerge. Our work will unfold at the pace of safety and trust, always guided by trauma-informed care. When you are ready, I will invite you into deeper attunement with your body and its messages, so you may listen more fully to its wisdom. It is my honor to accompany clients in this healing journey.

If these symptoms affect your daily life, I'm here to help.

I believe that some of our greatest growth comes out of our hardest seasons in life. Brene Brown states, "Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen." Counseling can be a great step to helping you become more authentic and show others your true self. If you're experiencing a challenging season, I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey.
