***Accepting new clients!*** Welcome to therapy! Congrats on taking the step to seek a safe and healthy place for you to process. I welcome you to my practice on the Grow Platform and look forward to connecting with you. My name is Dr. Joanna White and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I have my School Counseling Certification in Connecticut and also am a University Professor in Human Services and Social Work. I am a firm believer that therapy can be beneficial for all (I go myself!) and see it as a wonderful opportunity to grow and process “life stuff” in a safe and supportive environment. It is an honor to provide that space to my clients! ***Now offering virtual Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is an amazing therapy tool to help process trauma, often in only 1-5 sessions! *** In person ART sessions/intensives or retreats can also be scheduled within Connecticut. If interested in in person ART, please email me at counselorjoannawhite@gmail.com See link below for more info about ART. I will also continue to offer psychotherapy/talk therapy sessions, so you can choose which one, or both may be right for you! We can talk more about your unique therapy journey in our intake session. https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/what-is-art/

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, so that I can get to know you better and also introduce myself and my therapeutic style. We will then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan just for you and identify therapy goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a very positive, solution-focused person and that translates into my work in a therapeutic environment. I work with clients to take control of their lives and choose next steps that work best for them. Another strength is that I have a diverse set of professional experience in K-12, higher education as well as the professional world, which brings unique ideas and solutions to the conversation.
