Meet Joe
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
The importance of self-reflection in personal growth and decision-making.
How fear of failure can sometimes hold us back from reaching our potential.
The strength it takes to recover from setbacks and keep moving forward.
How our past influences the way we see the world, but doesn't have to define our future.
The resilience and strength that comes from facing adversity.
How overwhelming life can feel when dealing with stress and uncertainty.
The ups and downs of navigating big life changes and trying to make sense of them.
My clients describe me using words like…
Supportive and understanding, always ready to listen.
Empathetic, creating a safe space where they feel heard and valued.
Approachable and easy to talk to.
Insightful, offering perspectives that help them reframe their way of thinking.
Motivating and empowering, encouraging them to take action and move forward.

Booking FAQ
Does Joe offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.
How do I know if Joe is a good fit?
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.
What if I see no available times to book a session?
If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
