Joseph Degenhart is a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist who is deeply moved by the longing of couples to experience undivided attention and to feel understood and accepted. He believes in the importance of acknowledging their virtues and appreciating the affection that allows them to shift from 'it's all about me' to understanding that everyone needs the same compassion. Joseph emphasizes the importance of addressing one's own wounds so that partners can respect these feelings rather than attempt to heal them for each other. With a calm and nurturing approach, he supports perplexed parents as they navigate their children's resistance, helping them to feel seen and empowered rather than failing in their efforts to raise caring and responsible individuals. He understands that the weight of their hearts can make values feel irrelevant, so he guides them to unburden their hearts, allowing their children to hear their true values instead of emotional reactions. Joseph recognizes that the difficulties within couples and families often stem from past wounds and reflexive responses. By helping clients hold perspective, he encourages them to value themselves, even when facing criticism or negativity. In therapy, he fosters the ability to express values with conviction while remaining unattached to the outcomes. Utilizing Internal Family Systems, he invites individuals to embrace and befriend their leading tendencies—whether that be worry, feelings of inadequacy, or resistance. Joseph encourages a compassionate approach to these internal dynamics, promoting relaxation and openness in handling difficult situations. A pianist with a keen sense for the inner melodies of life, he attunes to the restlessness and unmet needs of his clients, joining with their hearts to cultivate understanding and calm. He believes in the possibility of recovery from unbearable losses and conflicts that leave individuals feeling unseen or dismissed. Joseph's warmth and dedication allow him to truly hear clients, helping them to respond from the heart to their deepest hurts.
