New to Grow
Hello, and welcome. My name is Josh Kale and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in northeastern Ohio. My background is in clinical mental health and art therapy. I have experience working with children, adults and seniors. My approach to therapy is a friendly, welcoming and creative way. I aspire to be the type of therapist I would want to meet with. Someone who is kind, caring, creates a safe space and takes time to actively listen without judgement. I am a therapist who is encouraging, understanding and willing to challenge you in a helpful way. I look forward to working together with you...
Let's begin with a check-in to see what brings you in today and how you've been doing lately. We can begin building a therapeutic relationship which will likely direct our therapy sessions moving forward. I am proud of you for taking this first step. I look forward to meeting you and helping you work toward your goals. Talk with you soon...
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, eclectic, creative problem-solving, cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed and solution-focused. I specialize in both psychotherapy (talk therapy) and art psychotherapy for those who find it easier to express through the creative art process. Whichever you decide, I will meet you where you are.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a short-term, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals overcome trauma-related emotional and behavioral difficulties. It targets symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and grief resulting from events like abuse, violence, or disasters.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral approach. It teaches you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. You learn to commit to actions aligned with your personal values, aiming to build psychological flexibility rather than erase pain.
Eclectic therapy is a flexible, personalized form of psychotherapy where a mental health professional uses a mix of different treatment techniques tailored to a client's unique needs, rather than sticking to just one single theoretical framework.
Humanistic therapy is a mental health approach focusing on your personal growth, free will, and individual potential. Instead of treating you as a diagnosis or focusing on past problems, it views you as inherently good and capable of self-healing through self-awareness and the present moment.
Strength-based therapy is a form of counseling rooted in positive psychology that focuses on an individual's internal assets, personal skills, and resilience rather than their deficits, past failures, or pathology. It operates on the core belief that clients already possess the innate capacity and resourcefulness to build solutions and navigate challenges.
