Additional Information
Testimonials:
I have been seeing Joan for about six months. She combines unique methods of therapy that is very interactive and very effective. I feel that I have gained invaluable insights to my issues through her guidance. She has a warm caring respect for the fragile condition we sometimes find ourselves in. She is constantly challenging me to go deeper and to stay focused. Joan is also deeply skilled couples therapist. My wife and I have gained valuable insights about our relationship and has given us the tools to improve our marriage. SH
One evening with Joan went deeper & further than my past 2 years of therapy. " BH
"In my work with Joan, I have found that she wastes no time in getting
to the core issues in any situation. Not only does she quickly get
what is going on, but she is a great monitor of mood and energy, picking up on small gestures or nuances amd making me aware of things about myself that I had not previously noticed.
Joan's style is very warm, personal and revealing, in contrast with the
common "detached" style of therapy where the therapist stays very aloof. I have really appreciated Joan's willingness to be frank, open and deeply
connected with me as a client. JH
