Getting to know Joseph Toste

I am a passionate neurodivergent psychotherapist who provides a supportive, empowering space for individuals. With over 20 years of experience and licensed in multiple states, my practice focuses on treating trauma, eating disorders, men's mental health, anxiety, and mood disorders. You deserve a clinician who uses a trauma-informed, strength-based view with real-life experience and someone passionate about helping clients live an enriched quality of life. Join me on a journey of self-care. You deserve it!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychology, and trauma work. My style is client-centered and strengths-based, providing kindness and warmth. I wholeheartedly believe in treating every client with respect, dignity, and compassion.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Starting therapy can feel intimidating—especially if you’ve lived through trauma or struggled with an eating disorder for a long time. My approach is grounded in safety, collaboration, and respect for your pace. You don’t have to “do it right” here. You just have to show up as you are. We start with a consultation where we get to know each other. This is a chance for you to share what’s been weighing on you, ask questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable and understood, and that matters to me from the very beginning.
