Hi! I’m Joshua Bogart.
I'm a Professional Counselor Associate who specializes in helping adults improve their communication in relationships. My goal is to help you overcome your fears and feel more comfortable expressing yourself, leading to healing and transformation.
MY JOURNEY TO BECOMING A COUNSELOR
I share a common thread with my clients - we're all human. My journey has been filled with both incredible highs and challenging lows, shaping me into the compassionate therapist I am today.
Growing up in an environment where my true self was not accepted, I learned to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. It's this same sensitivity that draws me to helping others navigate their own pain and struggles. I understand the fear of being rejected or misunderstood when sharing vulnerable emotions or thoughts.
Through my own experiences, I discovered my calling to become a counselor, and it's a path I'm grateful to walk every day. Let me be your guide as we navigate your own journey towards healing and growth.
HELPING PEOPLE IS A GIFT TO OTHERS, BUT ALSO TO MYSELF
As a Counselor, I find it truly fulfilling to help people navigate their challenges and reach their goals. Witnessing my clients overcome obstacles and achieve the life they want is incredibly rewarding.
My passion lies in empowering individuals to feel lighter, more liberated, and eager to embrace their life. I am dedicated to providing guidance and support as you embark on your journey toward healing and transformation.
I HAVE COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE AND BRING HEART AND WARMTH TO SESSIONS
I have a natural ability to:
Assist individuals in recognizing and processing their emotions
Create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients
Navigate deeper issues that may be affecting my clients' well-being
Facilitate the healing of past traumas while aiding in present-day coping strategies
OUR SESSIONS ARE FOCUSED ON YOU
Sessions will provide you with the space to focus on yourself without feeling selfish. In feeling safe and comfortable, you'll be able to figure things out about yourself and express your thoughts and feelings.
It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and create safety within session. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to Counseling. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
AS A COUNSELOR, I EMBRACE THE FOLLOWING PHILOSOPHIES
I believe that you deserve to feel better
I believe that you are worthy of love and care
I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated
I believe that we can stop feeling shame when we share our story with someone who can hear it with empathy and understanding
MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
I have previous and ongoing training in LGBT+ Affirmative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Humanistic Psychology, Evolutionary Astrology, and am informed in Internal Family Systems therapy.
