Getting to know Joseph Dabbs
Hello! I am an experienced Licensed Therapist in three states (Tennessee, Kentucky, and Massachusetts), and I am passionate about wellness and providing a non-judgmental, safe space for all individuals. Having compassion and knowledge to help people navigate life's challenges and transitions is truly a privilege for me. Through a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered therapeutic approach, a trusting relationship is created to help individuals establish and attain their treatment goals. Watching someone empower themselves to have a better quality of life is the end goal, no matter the situation.
Over the years, I have held several different positions in the clinical services arena. I have been a Director of Clinical Operations and therapist for residential facilities (120 beds and 66 beds). I oversaw five outpatient clinics as a Clinical Services Supervisor and provided therapy at the clinics. I've worked as a therapist and director in Mental Health Courts, Drug Courts, and Veterans Courts. In the end, my true love has always been doing individual and group therapy.
I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee. I left to play college basketball at 18. After graduating from Missouri State University with a teaching degree, I moved to Florida to be close to my handicapped older brother. During this time, I fell in love with helping others even more. I went back to school and graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee.
I have specialized in trauma work, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. My goal is to support a person in finding the best version of who they want to be in life. I love watching someone find their best self and begin living life to the fullest.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
