MEET JOSH

Joshua K Thorn

My approach is integrative, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should fit the person—not the other way around. I work with each client to understand what they want from therapy and then draw from different approaches and evidence-based interventions to help them get there.

I am trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), both of which I use frequently. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and attachment-based approaches. Depending on the client, therapy might involve challenging unhealthy thinking patterns, developing practical skills, working through difficult experiences with EMDR or ART, or using exposure-based interventions.

Sometimes clients want a structured approach with specific skills and tools. Other times, they need a place to slow down, talk things through, gain perspective, or explore questions about relationships, identity, values, and the direction they want their life to take. I try to meet clients where they are and help them get where they want to be.

I particularly value Positive Psychology's focus on strengths, gratitude, forgiveness, and building a meaningful life, along with attachment work to better understand ourselves and develop healthier relationships. My goal is for clients to leave therapy with greater insight, practical tools, and a stronger sense of confidence in their ability to navigate life.
