Getting to know Joan Sass

Hi there, I'm Joan! I would love to meet you and discuss what issues are holding you back from living your best life. I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment to explore your issues. My focus My focus in our sessions will be to assist you in exploring the areas in your life that are blocking you from maximizing your potential. There are times you will present an issue that is bothering you, and after exploring further we see a pattern for this issue. Connecting the past to the present and resolving that issue, is my goal. My approach When entering a session with me you will find that I provide a psycho dynamic environment. I utilize a multiple systemic approach; trauma informed care, mindfulness, somatic and EMDR. My communication style I have learned over the years that my style of communication is one of openness, safety, acceptance and judgement free zone. I create a space where you can share anything and feel comfortable. There maybe times when what we explore is painful and unsettlingly as that happens you will feel my caring and support through the video setting. My journey to mental healthcare I started my journey in 1979, I have worked in substance abuse settings, mental health agencies, adolescent group homes and in patient psychiatric hospitals. During this time, I have also taken multiple trainings and came to the understanding that I wanted to go back to my beginnings and help clients reach their goals and potential. My goals for you Each session builds on another and depending on how you respond we create goals and objectives and at the end of sessions we discuss where we are in reaching those goals. There are times homework is given, it can be start self care, or mediation. Other times it is reviewing our session and what stands out to you & what have you processed all week.
