Getting to know Ulumma Joseph

Taking the steps to seek therapy can be a challenge. It is my mission to create a safe space for clients to heal and grow, and encourage personal freedom. I have over 12 years of experience working as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Prior to beginning my Private Practice in 2019, I spent 9 years working with Kaiser Permanente's Psychiatry Department. While at Kaiser I was fortunate to work with a diverse population of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, religions, and various backgrounds. I also gained a wealth of experience with various mental health issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, suicidality, panic attacks, and various life stressors including work stress, relationship issues, family conflict, grief, loss, etc. Since opening my private practice, I have focused my work on helping individual adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as general life stressors including unresolved traumas. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness therapy. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy which I really enjoy utilizing when necessary. I do not believe that one therapy is right for everyone. I believe in an integrative approach that is client-centered, providing interventions and skills that draw from each of these modalities to hopefully assist in getting the client to achieve their treatment goals in the timeliest and most effective manner possible. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
