Joanne Ricketts

I bring a broad experience working with various mental health populations. As a residential counselor, I learn practiced and taught crisis interventions techniques with individuals with severe mental illness. As a social work and assistant director, I learned how to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. As a doctorate student, I learned and apply various aspects of culture and how to incorporate diverse aspects of culture to help the client heal.

My primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cultural Humility, and sometimes Psychodynamic Theory. With a strength-based foundation, I provide a holistic approach to build a healthy mind-body connection. At the end of each session, the hope is you will feel warmth and compassion.

The clients should expect coping skills and tools to manage or eliminate with anxiety, depression or trauma.
