About Joseph
I help adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar, borderline, OCD, PTSD, and relationship challenges.
Find relief from unwanted thoughts, intense mood shifts, and past trauma. I also offer identity-affirming care for LGBTQ individuals and specialized support for those navigating chronic pain.
My approach
I blend proven methods like CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS to give you straightforward skills tailored directly to your goals.
You'll learn skills to quiet unwanted thoughts, manage intense emotions, and build healthier relationships, all while figuring out why it's happening in the first place.

With a doctorate in psychology and a master's in social work, I combine clinical expertise with practical experience to help clients navigate life's hardest challenges. I practice under the supervision of Daisy Torres, LCSW (New York license 081869), Torres Counseling LCSW PC.
