Joshua Talbert is a compassionate counselor (MA, LMHC) devoted to helping teens and adults navigate their mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. He believes that individuals hold the answers to the difficulties they face and sees it as his role to support them in this discovery. With a foundation built on acceptance, respect, and trust, Joshua’s practice is guided by his clients, enabling a therapeutic journey that is both responsive and personalized. In his sessions, he listens not only to the spoken words but also to the underlying patterns and dynamics that often go unexpressed. Joshua views mental well-being as a sense of wholeness where all parts of the self are in harmony. He firmly believes that even the most distressing experiences can be transformed into opportunities for growth and healing. Employing a variety of therapeutic modalities such as compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and humanistic approaches, he incorporates body-oriented and experiential methods to enliven the therapeutic process. By integrating nature and the surrounding environment into sessions, Joshua fosters a meaningful connection that serves as a vital foundation for health. He emphasizes a strength-based approach that encourages clients towards independence, allowing for a therapeutic experience that does not necessarily need to be long-term. Joshua’s ultimate goal is to equip individuals with the skills necessary to navigate their current challenges and empower them to face the future with newfound resilience.
