Professional Experience

Joseph Brigandi on Counseling and Psychotherapy…

I use a psycho-educational approach in all of my work and I partner with my clients
and client families to set up realistic and achievable plans, goals, and expectations
for how a therapeutic course of instruction may be beneficial. I use solution-focused therapy; trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Jungian analysis, humanism and existentialism in my eclectic approach to healing and wellness.
I’ve served in health care organizations and in educational settings for most of my
professional career. With a lifetime of experience in emergency medical services
and over twenty years developing curriculum and presenting educational information at all levels of learning my approach is very psycho-educational and client centered.

I’m able to help my clients improve health and wellness and reach their full potential using structured approaches in a collaborative style backed by the latest in evidence-based research.

I’m certified in Victims Assistance by The National Organization for Victims
Assistance (NOVA) and in (EMDR) by The Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing International Association. (EMDRIA).

I consider myself a full spectrum clinical mental health practitioner, (meaning I take all clients) and I attempt to provide counseling and consulting services to anyone in distress.

My specific areas of special interest and research are:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) and EMDR Therapy
• Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) in youth, adolescents and adults
• Group Therapy as a tool of self-reflection and cognitive growth
