Hello and welcome! My name is Joel Bovey and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here on Grow Therapy. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help. I know it’s not easy and often times brings up a lot of anxiety and fears. I’m here to support you along the way. I offer a safe space to open up and unpack all those difficult life experiences and help you put them back together in a more complete perfect imperfection. Thanks again for stopping by along this journey called life and hope to hear from you soon! Warm regards, Joel Bovey, LCSW
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions to break the ice and get to know eachother on a surface level. We will then move towards diving deeper into the specific challenges which have brought you to seeking therapy and identify treatment goals. I will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment which will help me create a tailored plan to meet your needs, as every individual is different and comes to therapy with a unique framework in which they use to interact with the world around them.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and can tailor the treatment depending on your unique needs. However, some of my specialties are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in my practice.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with teens, transitional aged youth, and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, co-occurring substance use, life transitions, career, self-esteem, and many other mental health issues . I have worked in dual-diagnosis treatment facilities, school settings, crisis residential programs, mobile crisis response teams, doing mental health eligibility assessments, with homeless and older adult populations and many more.
