Professional statement

Joseph Fincher is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate, under the supervision of Noel C. Gonzalez, PhD, LPC-Supervisor, located in Houston, Texas and offers in-person and virtual appointments for patients in this region. Joseph uses evidence-based modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Existential and Humanistic Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Sandtray Therapy, among other client-centered, compassion-focused approaches to aid clients on their mental health journey.

More information about these treatment modalities can be found on our practice website.

Along with general mental health therapy, Joseph's focus populations are:

- Individuals on a cancer journey

- Individuals diagnosed/living with HIV

- Transgender and non-binary individuals

- Those of the LGBTQIA+ community, in general

Joseph approaches therapy from the perspective of working with patients to help find and/or restore "balance" in their mental health so that they may build on this and move forward on their journey.

Joseph offers a client-focused, nonjudgmental, accepting and affirming experience for his clients and welcomes the opportunity to work with you on achieving that "balance."

Reach out, today. We look forward to helping you along this journey.

Message to clients

I came to the psychotherapy profession after thirteen years in education. During my time as an educator, I gained a better understanding of my love for helping my students, and others, work through the challenges they faced.

At Hopes for Healing Counseling, PLLC, my goal is to help you find your path through the journey to healing.

​My focus stands in helping individuals who are on a cancer journey, and/or are members of the LGBTQIAP2S+ community

​That said, my mission stands to be of service to the Greater Houston community by providing quality, mental health therapy while honoring our core values equity, equality, and inclusion.

​​How can therapy help? 

​Therapy provides us a space to spend time with our emotions, our thoughts... everything going on inside our heads, hearts, and guts to try to figure out what the heck is going on.

Easy? Nope!

​Worth it? Only you can determine this.

​That said, I believe it is "worth its weight in gold-pressed latinum!" (Hey, the Ferengi have a way with words sometimes.)

​All of that to say, let's talk. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," and I look forward to helping you along this journey.
