Getting to know Joshua Garth

Joshua Garth, LMFT, is a psychotherapist who specializes in treating online gaming addiction and social media addiction. He has worked in the realm of addiction for over 5 years, with over a year of experience in substance abuse treatment. Josh has been trained in many meditation/mindfulness techniques, which he frequently uses with his clients. My approach Some therapists use a mystique, or hide behind a veil of being a licensed professional. I do not. When you work with me, I will be as honest and open and I can be. I believe the pathway to better mental health is being treated as an equal in relationships, regardless of who you are. Initial sessions with me will be us discussing what you want to get from therapy (e.g,. reduce anxious thoughts, better relationships, decrease social anxiety/depression symptoms, etc.) and how we will know YOUR goals will be met. Progress comes in many forms, but it can be reducing the amount of sadness induced from a topic, facing your fear, or as simple as changing your daily routine. The best part is, we get to work together to find out what you REALLY want. My focus I became interested in treating these kinds of addictions because I engaged in excessive gaming for almost 30 years of my life, and realized how it had hindered me and my relationships. You may be dealing with online addiction and not understand the effect it is having on your family. The depression, anger, isolation, and realization that you were going nowhere may be sitting with you, and you may not know what to do about it. But I don't want others to feel that there is no way out. I've been sober from gaming since 2022, and never looked back. In an ever-increasing digital world, I love helping people get back to living their lives, be it couples, families, or individuals. It's never too late to start living again! My communication style Some people need their hands held, and others need a kick in the butt. We decide that together.
