Joseph Bates

Hello! My name is Joseph Bates, and I am a license clinical social worker with 30+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with issues as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, anger management, substance use, domestic violence, depression, and interpersonal issues. I believe that clients are the experts of their story and that they have many strengths that will assist them in overcoming things that challenging. I believe that taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy, trauma-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

If you are ready to take that step towards change, I am here to support and empower you.

I'm looking forward to working with you!
