Joe Wareing is a compassionate and experienced counselor, specializing in helping adults and elders navigate the complexities of life transitions and overcome challenges such as depression. He understands that the journey of finding the right therapist can be deeply personal and sometimes overwhelming. With a belief that not everyone resonates with the same therapist, Joe encourages individuals to explore their options—finding the right fit is essential for effective therapy. He poses thoughtful questions to help clients reflect on their internal struggles: Who is running their life? Do they feel disconnected from themselves, even in the company of others? Are conflicting parts of their identity causing tension and exhaustion? Joe employs mindfulness and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to create a space for exploration and understanding of their inner world. His approach emphasizes curiosity and compassion, allowing clients to uncover the layers of their experiences. With expertise in crisis counseling, including existential, eco, and identity crises, Joe is dedicated to supporting his clients on their paths to healing and self-discovery. He practices mindfulness-based techniques and is committed to guiding individuals, couples, and groups through their journeys of growth and resilience.
