Joey's Focus
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
For adults, teens, and pre-teens, I provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based practice that normalizes the struggles of the human condition, while also helping you identify what exactly it is you want out of this thing called life.
Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)
Most kiddos don’t do too well sitting around and passively talking for 50 minutes straight. That’s where play therapy comes in! CCPT is a form of play therapy in which your child will be able to express themselves in a lot of the ways they want to. Through play therapy, children use play as their language and toys as their words. CCPT instills connection to one’s emotions, facilitates greater decision-making skills, improves confidence levels, and provides a completely judgement free environment for kids to come to terms with the outside world. Appropriate for children ages 3-9. This service is offered in-person only.
Joey's Other Specialities
Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT)
You’re already doing great things as a parent; CPRT is here to add on to that! CPRT involves a group of parents who meet once a week over 10 weeks to learn skills to help bolster their relationship with their children. Practical skills for parents are introduced, with the bulk being techniques that therapists are trained in as well. Appropriate for up to 8 parents of children aged 3-9. Groups occur periodically, and individual training can be provided upon request.
Career Construction Interview (CCI)
The CCI is a 3-session modality where we explore your career concerns, what you want out of a career, and possible work environments that suit you best. Combines a formal career assessment with an open-ended interview format to learn what you currently want out of a career. CCI is appropriate for anyone 13 and up and I offer this service in-person or virtual.
