Josephine Nwoke

Hello, I'm glad you're here. I have diverse experience in working with children, families, adolescents, teenagers, couples, adults with mental health and chemical health issues. I have experience in psychotherapy and have been practicing 20+ years. My approach is eclectic and designed to fit the individual and their needs. Most treatment modalities vary based on the needs of the person since everyone is special in their own way. I use play therapy with children who have experience maltreatment and trauma.

My professional background include: Child Welfare, Family and Children Services and Therapy, Domestic Violence and Abuse, Trauma Treatment for both children and adults, Chemical Dependency Treatment, Individual and Couple Therapy, Grief and Loss Therapy and Group Therapy.

Population Served:

From age 6 to 80.

My Education:

Master of Social Work, University of Minnesota

Bachelors of Science in Social Work, Iowa State University

Associate of Arts Degree - Human Services, Des Moines Area Community College.

Certified Clinical Trauma Professional

Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional

Cognitive Behavioral therapy is used most of the time for children and adults. Other therapy modalities used include ACT, Mindfulness based, DBT, Psychodynamic and Play Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy. My goal is to design and implement a treatment plan that will fit the person and allow for successful symptom and problem resolution as well as personal growth.

I would like to work with you in exploring events and issues, guiding you in developing goals, plans and skills to implement on a regular basis to help improve situations or symptoms. I suggest you schedule live video sessions which is protected for your privacy to begin therapy sessions. I look forward to working with you.
