Providing you with a safe space for change
Welcome to my practice! My name is Joseph Cooper and I can help you. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for the treatment of anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, and low self-esteem. I specialize in providing Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based treatment.
I also specialize in helping adults manage and reduce chronic pain and psychosomatic symptoms that are often impacted by emotional stress and anxiety.
I want to help you not only to find relief from your symptoms, but to get to the "root" of your problems so you can experience deep and lasting change and reconnect to those healing parts of yourself that have always been there, but hidden behind so may burdens.
I want your therapy experience to leave you feeling more connected, calm, understood, and hopeful.
