Getting to know Joseph Narvaez

I acknowledge and respect your courage! You have already overcome the major challenge of seeking professional help to assist you, guide you, and support you with reaching your mental health goals, as well as your personal growth in the various areas of your life that are important to you. I respectfully welcome you to this journey that involves a positive and supportive collaboration where you are the focal point of attention. Most therapy models have something unique to offer, but as humans, we are all different. So, one therapy model may not be enough to address client needs holistically. I’ve had success with using a combination of different therapy models to treat my clients. Therapy models such as CBT and DBT (and others) have been useful in my practice. These therapy models help my clients address unhelpful thinking patterns and dysfunctional coping choices. I also utilize mindfulness and medication (when necessary), tools, and strategies that address the specific needs of the client. The client is involved every step of the way regarding goal setting and treatment planning. When working with me, you will feel like you are in therapy for an important and valuable reason that is very much your own. Whether you are working on personal goals, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or other challenges etc., I will work with you as a team to identify and set achievable goals and a treatment plan that is flexible and that feels attainable for the client from the start. What you bring to therapy is important to you, so it is important to me. I use a non-judgmental, active listening style that seeks to establish clear communication. I also use patience and respect to establish a clinical environment where any miscommunication can be addressed and clarified with professional empathy and understanding for the benefit of both parties. In addition to his experience with providing mental health therapy, Joseph has a background in mediation and conflict resolution.
