Joseph Grossman

I work with adults, seniors and adolescents who are experiencing many different kinds of

challenges. These can include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions,

work stress, and trauma. My approach is collaborative, and I try to create an environment

where people feel comfortable talking about what is happening in their lives.

I listen carefully and seek to understand each client’s unique circumstances.

Helping people better understand themselves remains at the center of my approach.

This can include recognizing patterns and finding more effective ways of handling the

difficulties they face.

Much of my work involves helping people with relationships and communication,

including understanding their relationships more clearly, listening to those closest to

them, and finding better ways to communicate with each other.

I also work with people dealing with anxiety and depression, as well as work stress,

career changes, and other life transitions. My work often involves taking the time to look

at patterns, experiences, and concerns that may be contributing to what they are going

through now.

I want clients to feel comfortable talking about what is happening in their lives,

including things that may be difficult to put into words. From there, we can work toward a

clearer understanding of themselves and ways of dealing with issues that are more

satisfying.

In the first session, I want to understand what brought you to therapy and what is

happening in your life. I want to understand not only the immediate concerns, but also

longer-term issues and experiences that may be important. We can begin to identify what

you hope to get from therapy and start to develop goals together. The first session also

gives you a chance to ask questions and get a sense of whether you feel comfortable

working with me.
