Hi, I'm Joel. I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and an Army veteran. I've been practicing mental health therapy for 7+ years, focusing primarily on helping my clients heal from trauma, and the depression, anxiety, and anger that can come from it.
I practice EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for the treatment of trauma. I also utilize various mindfulness and relaxation based techniques to teach my clients how to manage their own symptoms.
Trauma therapy typically needs at least 10 sessions, with weekly sessions recommended but biweekly possible. The types of therapy I practice can result in 80-90 percent effectiveness in reducing PTSD symptoms. I've worked with a lot of clients, and can confidently say this stuff works.
