Joshua Pelfrey, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Joshua!

I have been in the counseling field as both an addiction counselor and clinical social worker. I am a proud graduate of the Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.

My focus

My ideal client is an adult client who is seeking something better for themselves.

My approach

I consider myself an ally in the therapeutic process with the goal of helping my clients unlock their potential. I specialize in motivational interviewing, addiction counseling, and anger management.

My communication style

I am a direct, supportive communicator.

My journey to mental healthcare

Sometimes people need help, I have needed help in my life and I wanted to help other people. I started as an addiction counselor and continued my education to broaden my ability to work in different aspects of the counseling field.

My goals for you

My goal is to help the client reach their goals in a supportive, mindful environment.
