Good for you!\u00a0\u00a0So often we rush to help or take care of others, while minimizing or just simply ignoring our own needs. Coming to therapy is a great step in self-care, and so I\u2019ll share some of my beliefs and background to ensure that I am a good fit for you.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">My counseling philosophy is dynamic, but is rooted in client-centered therapy. Essentially, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is foundational for healing to occur. I incorporate elements such as acceptance, openness, positive regard, and trust. My style is holistic and collaborative, and I use different evidence-based practices that fit each individual. I am trained in Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused Therapy. I help my clients to accept and learn to love themselves, gain skills to thrive in relationships and live their lives in an empowered and meaningful way.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">For couple\u2019s therapy, I specialize in the Gottman Method.\u00a0 This method helps couples to gain a toolkit to communicate lovingly and effectively in order to rebuild their connection. It helps couples to build respect, affection and empathy.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">I also see individuals, helping them to build skills to increase confidence and to build a sense of inner contentment. Individuals may struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, family and relationship conflicts. I help individuals with adjustment issues and emotional distress related to life transitions, such as break-ups, divorce, and career changes. I also provide support for clients who are seeking greater self-understanding and personal growth. This life can feel confusing, and I am a guide that helps individuals to find their path to healing. I would love to support you.<\/p>","therpaist_phone_":"808-451-3960","Therapists First Name":"Joanika","do_you_need_extra_section":false,"therapists_story_beg":"","story_quote":"","story_quote_author":"","therapists_story_end":"","Do you need Area of Speciality":true,"aos_description":"<p class=\"p1\">I offer Individual and Couples Therapy.\u00a0 I work with people aged 18 and older.<\/p>","aos_list":"<ul class=\"ul1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Couples Therapy<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Depression<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Anxiety\/Stress<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">LGBTQ<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Parenting Issues<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Low Self-Esteem<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">PTSD\/Trauma<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Grief<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Family and relationship conflicts<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Life Transitions<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Personal growth<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","Do you need Experience & Training Section":true,"e&t_list":"<div dir=\"auto\">2023 20th Hawaii International Summit on Violence, Abuse, &amp; Trauma Across the Lifespan, Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma (IVAT)<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2022 19th Hawaii International Summit on Violence, Abuse, &amp; Trauma Across the Lifespan, Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma (IVAT)<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2021 Dissociation and Trauma Spectrum, American Counseling Association<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2020 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intensive Training Course, Profesional Education Systems Institute (PESI)<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2019 Gottman Method Levels I &amp; II, National Marriage Seminars<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2019 Diagnosis: Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders, Louisiana Counseling Association<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2017 The STOP Program for Men &amp; Women: Understanding &amp; Treating Domestic Violence in the 21st Century, David Wexler Relationship Training Institute<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2015 Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), LivingWorks<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2014 Triple P Positive Parenting Program Levels 2&amp;3, Triple P International and The University of Queensland<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"auto\">2012 Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Loyola University New Orleans<\/div>","do_you_need_extra_section_copy":false,"extra_section_title":"","extra_section_description":"","Do you need Testimonial Section":true,"testimonial_1":"Jo has helped me grow tremendously in the past two years.
