Getting to know Josiah Peratoner

Hi there, I'm Josiah! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist delivering in-person care in Irvine & via telehealth across CA. I work with veterans, LGBTQ+ folks, and parents. With trauma-informed, multicultural care, you'll feel like yourself here, not just a diagnosis. My focus You want a therapist who gets it, whether you're a veteran coming home, LGBTQIA+ and tired of explaining yourself, or a parent carrying more than you show. We'll talk honestly about what's stuck and what you're hoping for. No pressure. Just a real conversation, and a space to be yourself and feel understood. My approach I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, and trauma-focused work, but never from a script. I follow your lead. Sessions are direct yet warm, focused on what matters to you. The therapeutic relationship itself heals, so expect honesty, humor when it fits, and real investment in your progress. My communication style I'm direct and warm without the performance. You'll get honesty, gentle challenge when it helps, and humor when it fits. I listen more than I talk, but I won't just nod along. Expect real back-and-forth, plain language, and a space where you never have to translate yourself for me. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I've seen and experienced in my own therapy how much it matters to feel truly understood and how rare that can be. This work isn't abstract to me. I show up because people deserve care that sees them fully. My goals for you We start with what matters most to you, not a checklist. Goals stay clear and yours, we'll name them, revisit them, and adjust as we go. I'll be honest about progress, celebrate real wins, and help you build skills you'll keep long after we're done. Our first session Think of it as a real conversation, not an intake form. We'll talk about what brought you in, what's felt stuck, and what you're hoping for. I'll share how I work. No pressure to commit.
