Getting to know Joel Pieper

Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in FL and WV with 10 years experience treating Veterans, First Responders, and Trauma Survivors. Being a combat Veteran myself, I deeply understand the challenges associated with trauma. I believe each of us has a worst day. How we change in response to that worst day is part of what defines us. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), which are two of the best treatments for trauma. It is often helpful to have an objective view of your challenges, and that is where a therapist can be beneficial. Trauma does not get to control everything in your life. We all get to exercise choices in how we respond. Therapy can help you find your ability to choose. There is value in processing our past experiences and understanding how they relate to our current lives so that we can heal and grow into who we want to be. Virtually or in person, from my Cape Coral office. I accept VA Community Care, most insurances, and private pay. I use and teach skills from Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Meditation. I'm also trained to help with anger management and chronic pain. I specialize in treating trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also have tons of experience treating depression, anger, and anxiety. I am uniquely prepared to assist Veterans and First Responders. First we'll work on understanding you and what your particular challenges are. Together we'll come up with a plan that will help you find the brighter future you've been looking for.

What should a new client know about working with you?
