Joe is an experienced Licensed Therapist in 3 states (Tennessee, Kentucky, and Massachusetts) and he is passionate about wellness and providing a nonjudgmental and safe space for all individuals.

Having compassion and knowledge to help people as they go through life’s challenges and transitions is truly a privilege for him. Through a strengths-based, trauma informed, and person-centered therapeutic approach Joe creates a trusting relationship is created to help individuals establish and attain their treatment goals. Watching someone empower themselves to have a better quality of life is the end goal, no matter the situation. Over the years Joe has held several different positions in the clinical services arena. He has been a Director of Clinical Operations and therapist for residential facilities. He oversaw five outpatient clinics as a Clinical Services Supervisor and provided therapy at the clinics. He has also worked as a therapist and director in Mental Health Courts, Drug Courts, and Veterans Courts.

In the end, his true love has always been individual and group therapy. Joe is originally from Nashville, Tennessee. He left to play college basketball at 18. After graduating from Missouri State University with a teaching degree, he moved to Florida to be close to my handicapped older brother. During this time Joe fell in love with helping others even more. He went back to school and graduated with a master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Tennessee. Joe has specialized in trauma work, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. His goal is to support a person to help them find the best version of who they want to be in life. Joe loves watching someone find their best version of themselves and begin living life to the fullest.
