Joel Gamache

My communication style

I typically ask about what is currently happening in people's lives and use that to explore unresolved experiences in the past.

My journey to mental healthcare

When the war in Iraq started, I thought the way I could serve my country was to work with people who came back with PTSD. It was a long journey, but wonderful, and I learned I love working with just this group of people. I especially love working with couples, too!

My goals for you

I want clients to take control of their goals for therapy, and we talk about how they will know therapy did what they needed it to do for them.

Our first session

The first session is easy. I try not to dig into the difficult things too much. I want to begin to build trust and get to know each other.

I identify as...

• American Indian or Alaska Native, Caucasian or White
• Christian
