Lacell Joseph, LPC
Welcome to the journey! Deciding to get some extra support from a therapist is a huge decision, and I am proud of you! As one of my clients, you can expect patient, nonjudgmental support. I believe that therapy is a great tool to enhance what's going well and a safe space to embrace and work through some of the challenges life sends our way. In my 10 + years as a therapist, I have always viewed therapy as a collaboration between client and therapist. There are no quick solutions, but with the right therapist and time I do believe there can always be progress.
