As a Nevada-based LCSW providing Telehealth services, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and grounded in real life.
I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults who may feel misunderstood or unsure where to start, as well as adults who are carrying a lot while trying to keep everything together. Together, we’ll focus on helping you better understand yourself, strengthen coping skills, and create a life that feels more aligned and manageable.
I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe and understood. My approach is compassionate and grounded in strong clinical experience, guided by genuine care and respect for each person’s story. I bring a calm, steady presence to every session and see therapy as a collaborative process, one that helps you build awareness, strength, and lasting change.
I am Joseph M. Tonui, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. I began my academic journey at Kean University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, and later completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. I went on to graduate with honors from Walden University with a Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in Psychiatric and Mental Health.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges, gain insight, and develop the tools needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
As a mental health therapist, I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I understand that each person's experiences are unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I have my Masters in Psychology from New York University and am Nationally Board Certified as a counselor. Currently taking clients in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.
I have experience with a diverse population of clients, and extensive experience working with emerging adults (18-25), couples, families and adults of all ages and backgrounds. In addition, I also have experience with creative professionals in music/art fields, working with Backline Care.
