Therapists in Warren, OH

I believe everyone has the power to change but may not know how to do so. A person may think that just because they've been doing things "all their life" doesn't mean that it's for the rest of their life. I have over ten years experience helping kids,families and adults change behaviors/patterns that cause them problems in their lives. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction/alcoholism, divorce, relationship issues, panic, phobias, chronic pain, self esteem, bullying, ADHD, OCD, behavior problems, parenting issues, bipolar, anger issues, autism, aspbergers and personality disorders.

My name is Joe Humphries. I am an LPCC and have been practicing in the Youngstown area for the past 18 years. I work with all ages and can help you address problems with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adjustment problems, and grief. Other areas of focus in my practice include: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, parenting skills training, anger management, behavior management, and Attention Deficit Disorder.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them to navigate challenges that hinder the experience of the beauty and joy of life.

In a confidential and safe environment, I address areas of addiction, anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, marital/premarital counseling, etc. I am able to address minor and major problems that are impeding you from experiencing your full potential.

As a Christian therapist, I will seek to help you with insight, increased strength and a new outlook in responding to the hurts, addictions and conflicts that you may be experiencing in your life. We will work as a team as you discover new and effective responses to the challenges that you are facing with treatment that will address your specific needs, even if they are changing. Therapy is a partnership filled with challenges, blessings, surprises, and ultimately hope for change as you gain that courage and support needed for improvement to take place.

I believe problems can be solved. It takes work, the ability to be open to new ideas, the willingness to stand and face problems,the wisdom to share and to rely on someone other than yourself, to offer a different perspective. No one has all the answers all the time but working together, solutions can be found.
