“I believe we can explain many of our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings using evolutionary terms. Take for instance “fear”, a basic emotion that can alert us that we are facing danger. I enjoy offering psychoeducation and use theories to guide my sessions, to ]treat mental health problems, and to provide my patients with relevant information about their condition. Joseph s therapy process involves:

A comprehensive assessment to understand the client's needs and develop a treatment plan.
Exploration of the underlying circumstances of the client's symptoms and identification of treatment goals.
Presentation of tools, skills, techniques, and solutions to help the client develop stabilization, find their true self, and face their fears.
Exploration of maladaptive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, as well as the concepts of meaning and purpose.
