Con experiencia en entornos escolares, universitarios y ambulatorios, y trabajando con clientes de todas las edades, mi objetivo es ofrecer una atención auténtica, empática y culturalmente competente que sea de apoyo y libre de juicios.

    Cuento con experiencia previa trabajando con diversos grupos de clientes que presentan una amplia gama de condiciones y experiencias psicológicas, incluyendo trauma, depresión, ansiedad, trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), desarrollo de la identidad, duelo y pérdida, entre otros.

    Creo firmemente que ningún individuo es igual a otro, lo cual guía mi enfoque integrativo de la terapia. Mi meta en la terapia es ofrecer un espacio donde los clientes se sientan escuchados, vistos y seguros, para así construir una relación terapéutica y colaborar en la comprensión de las razones detrás de ciertos comportamientos o creencias, trabajando hacia el crecimiento.

    About Yosie

    Joseph (“Yosie”) Friedman earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva University, in the Bronx, New York. His love for clinical psychology is drawn from his deep compassion and passion for empowering others. He focuses on delivering evidence-based treatments in a patient-centered manner.

    Yosie works with patients to identify the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and in turn explores how patients can utilize personal strengths and evidenced-based strategies to improve emotional wellbeing and functioning. He has particular interests in working with older adults as well as with individuals with anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders.

    Yosie is also passionate about working with individuals with co-occurring medical conditions and psychological distress, helping patients optimize functioning and (re)build a life worth living. This passion was facilitated by his program’s health emphasis and nurtured by practicum and internship experiences working with patients experiencing comorbid medical conditions, including chronic pain and weight-related concerns, and providing services to many older adults. His dissertation was entitled, “Validating the Burden of Psychiatric Illness Scale (BPIS): A Measure of the Self-Perceived Impact of Psychiatric Illness on Psychosocial Functioning and of Stress Related to Managing Psychiatric Illness.” His doctoral research has helped develop his sensitivity to how psychiatric illness can affect many facets of a person’s life and his strong belief in a holistic approach to

          September — National Recovery Month

          Recovery is more than just stopping and avoiding using substances. The process includes addressing the triggers, mental health issues and trauma that contribute to the disease of addiction as well as finding healthier coping strategies to navigate through life. In order to heal from addiction, support from others is needed.

          Grief and the Holidays

          While the holidays may bring celebration and joy, they can also be a difficult time for others, especially those who are in the midst of grief. Grief can be experienced with many kinds of profound loss (death of a loved one, death of a pet, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, moving, health diagnosis, etc).

          About Me

            My approach to counseling is to be fully present, attune, and resonate with my clients by co-regulating their nervous systems in a therapeutic setting.

            I am trained to identify and treat the root causes of emotional triggers and associated thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I believe mental wellness is characterized by calmness, clarity, curiosity, creativity, confidence, courage, compassion, and connectedness. Intuitive and compassionate, I find peace not by knowing things but in my journey to be known.

            After a diverse career in finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship, I find my calling is to help others gain relational insights and embrace a courageous journey to relate well. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary, an Executive MBA degree from New York University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland.

            I am trained in the latest empirical treatment approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).
