Joseph Hodge

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I earned my graduate degree from Hood College and have experience working with adults navigating a wide range of mental health concerns.

My clinical focus includes trauma/Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety/Panic Disorder/Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder/ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/OCD, managing emotional dysregulation, and relationship and attachment concerns. I particularly enjoy working with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but haven’t been able to change on their own.

I use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches (EMDR, ERP, CBT, PE, CPT) and tailor treatment to each person’s goals, needs, and pace. I am also trained to conduct Emotional Support Animal (ESA) assessments and can provide ESA documentation for clients who meet the appropriate clinical criteria.

I have experience working with diverse populations, including adults, older adults, veterans, active-duty service members, military families, first responders, and incarcerated individuals. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs and remain open to working with new populations with curiosity and flexibility.

Outside of therapy, I’m a big believer in finding balance and making room for the things that make life enjoyable. As someone who has personally navigated anxiety and depression, I understand that healing isn’t always linear—and that meaningful progress involves more than simply reducing symptoms. I bring that same perspective into my work by giving clients the tools to reclaim their time and space, focus on what matters most, and move forward at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest without having to perform, have everything figured out, or worry about being judged. My style is warm, straightforward, collaborative, and occasionally humorous when the moment calls for it. I want you to leave therapy with both greater insight into yourself and practical tools you can actually use in your everyday life.

I thoughtfully tailor therapeutic techniques, treatment approaches, and behavioral experiments to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we create practical, personalized tools that support meaningful progress both inside and outside the therapy room. With warmth, curiosity, and genuine care, I foster a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal, grow, and create a more fulfilling life.

Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and individualized. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. You just need to be willing to take the first step.

If you’re ready to understand yourself differently, heal what has been keeping you stuck, and build a life that feels more like your own, I’d be glad to help.
