Joseph Fielding

My communication style

I pride myself on my listening skills and my concern for the well-being of others. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences as an empathetic partner. As we work through the therapeutic process, you rely on me to be non-judgmental and caring as we address your issues.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became interested in the field when a family member began experiencing substance use issues. I eventually became a substance use counselor and then decided that I needed a deeper understanding of the psychological issues that lead to substance abuse. In developing this understanding, I now work with a wider range of clients.

My goals for you

At the beginning of the therapeutic process, we will collaboratively establish a set of treatment goals that address your needs. As the process proceeds, we will assess progress towards achieving your goals and determine if any changes to the goals are needed so that you can move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will make sure you understand how the therapy process works and leave time to answer questions you may have. I will work to make you feel comfortable and in a good position to make a decision on how you would like to proceed.
