Agape Joe's Counseling Strategies

I have experience with clients ranging from adolescence to the elderly, families and couples. My specialization is working with serious mental illness and substance abuse. I rely on compassion, empathy, and non judgment to respectfully approach complex situations. I understand that life has ebbs and flows. It can be difficult to traverse, especially when one feels alone, overwhelmed, hopeless, helpless, misunderstood, powerless, ashamed, unheard, victimized, confused, invisible, etc. I received my Masters in Counseling from Phoenix Seminary. I utilize an eclectic approach centered around a Cognitive Behavioral, person-centered, and solution focused strategy. In my career, I have aided many individuals dealing with varying sources of discomfort. In those journeys, I have discovered this, "We are better together." I truly believe a burden shared is a burden halved. My passion and privilege is to walk alongside others when they are in the valley. I greatly desire to help all I serve find joy, happiness, and freedom
