My name is Joel, and I’m so glad you've reached out for support. It's common to feel anxious, uncomfortable, or hesitant starting therapy. I want to let you know that I'm here to support you as we get to know each other. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, based in Pennsylvania, and I have experience working with a diverse range of clients. My approach is client-centered, and I am dedicated to tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. In my approach to therapy, I want to create a space where you can feel heard and supported every step of the way. I'm committed to getting to know you and understanding what's brought you to therapy and what matters to you. Together, we’ll explore ways to move forward that feel right for you. This is a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space. and we will go at your pace and timing. I look forward to getting to know you and working together.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you're facing. We will use this discussion to create an individual plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
With my years of experience in helping other with various concerns I believe we can work together to address your treatment needs.
