Joshua Krause LMFT

As collaborators, let’s discover what shapes your choices, and also what keeps you stuck. You are so much more than a reductive diagnosis or a list of symptoms and problems. I blend evidenced-based approaches steeped in acceptance and non-avoidance, with kindness, humor, art/creativity, and a DIY/punk ethos to empower commitments to growth and change. In this, we will move at your pace as you make new choices, set better boundaries, and author your new narrative. At the end of each session, you should leave with a sense of feeling heard, empowered, grounded, and with increased insight and perspectives. I'll often encourage you, in the 6 days and 23 hours you are outside of session, to integrate into your life what you have learned, discovered, and finally found the words to say.

I'm an eclectic therapist, with primary treatment methods of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Existential, Mindfulness, with a vast tool kit using elements from Internal Family System, Somatic Experiencing, integrative sex and couples therapy, and more.
