Getting to know Joseph Dreyer

Hi there, I'm Joseph! One might say, ‘I don’t have time for therapy.’ However, taking this time for yourself can be an important part of your self-care routine and an opportunity for some growth and recovery. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and addictions. I use a supportive, strength-based approach, individualized to your unique goals, and you set the pace. Please reach out when you’re ready to begin. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for your therapy experience. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify harmful thought patterns. CBT gives us an opportunity to identify thoughts and take steps to challenge their validity. There are always other possible outcomes! I also use a strength-based recovery model, assessing spiritual, physical, and mental well-being. By identifying your strengths and shoring up your supports, we will work toward recovery. My focus Are your worry thoughts getting the better of you? Are you losing sleep and struggling to stay focused on your activities? Or have you been feeling down, sad, using drugs and/or alcohol to cope with your feelings? Let’s look at what is weighing on you and develop some healthier coping strategies. My communication style I provide an open communication, non-judgmental forum in my sessions. As an active listener, I want you to feel at ease sharing your experience. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began as a recovery counselor at a treatment facility, and I wanted to increase my effectiveness, so I attended a graduate program with a mental health concentration. My career path led me to provide outpatient mental health services to adults. I also have experience working with veterans. My goals for you Setting goals in therapy is helpful to determine progress made.
