I will let people with whom I worked over the years tell you about me: "Joel focuses on the issues at hand, because he listens very intently. Doesn't get into any psychobabble and provides clear insight to moving forward. Joel encouraged positive takeaways from all sessions." "He s attentive, professional, personable, and kind." "We were able as a family to have Joel's ear as an outside observer. He could extract the most important take away from all that we were working on together and put them into concrete terms. It helped bring clarity and structure to all the things we were trying to do. Having appointments with Joel also helped us to be accountable for the work. Therapy is work. We have to consciously make changes to see the improvements... Joel helped us to stay accountable. " When I came to see Joel I was in a bad place - personally and professionally. I was dealing with unresolved grief and that was impacting my habits and behaviors. After a few short sessions with Joel I started the road back to being the person who I believe myself to be. It has been about 6 months since my first session with Joel - I am now working a good job, I have returned to a hobby that I love and I just completed my first semester of a degree program towards a more rewarding profession (and earned a 4.0 GPA!). Joel helped me realize that I had the ability to determine my own course in life and helped me develop positive habits to achieve my goals." If you want to know more you can visit www.0to10.net.

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

Before we first meet, I will ask you to think about what you want to be different and better in our working together. This will be the question that will begin our journey together. Pretty much the rest of the time will be spent putting the details on that difference. Once we've discussed how you want things to be different and better, I'll take a break, think about our conversation, review my notes, and then return to share those thoughts with you. I might (and probably will) have a suggestion of something for you to do, or think about after you've returned home.

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

I would urge you to read what clients have said about me. What is important to me is developing the ability to listen and respond to what clients say. The other ability that I've developed over the past 40+ years is how to create with clients a conversation about a preferred future.
