See Joelle's Details for:
Joelle is a therapist based in New York City with expertise in addressing relationship and family trauma, anxiety, depression, autism/ADHD, sexual/gender identity, relationship concerns, and insomnia in both adult and adolescent populations.
Joelle believes in making therapy a collaborative process. She therefore encourages feedback either during or after sessions, letting her know what is/isn't working for you. She understands that immediately opening up to a complete stranger can feel daunting, so she encourage you to speak at your own pace and in accordance with your comfort level. Joelle sees clients on a weekly basis, as this frequency allows for the sense of continuity that is necessary for therapy to work.
