For more info check out my website and media interviews on www.drnickjoyce.com. I have spent a 15 years doing short term therapy in college counseling centers and my personal practice. I have a record of success with anxiety, depression, trauma, performance and motivation, and addictions. We will set a goal for what you want out of therapy and use scientifically validated treatments to help you obtain that goal. There is no cost to reach out and consult with me.
I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.
I create an environment where we can give and get accurate feedback. I believe in evidence based practice and doing things that work.
A good therapist is part experience and training and part "fit" with you and your personality and needs. I encourage you to shop around and speak to several people, as such I am happy to speak about your needs and see if we are a fit. Check out my personal website and view my media and written work.
