Hi, I am Joseph Contes,
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy often happens during moments of uncertainty, stress, or quiet exhaustion, and my work is grounded in creating a space where people feel understood, supported, and respected.
My approach to therapy is calm, structured, and collaborative. I help clients slow things down, make sense of what they are experiencing, and develop skills that build emotional awareness, regulation, and resilience over time. Whether you are navigating persistent stress, recovering from past experiences, or feeling stuck despite appearing high-functioning on the outside, therapy can offer clarity and steady forward movement at a pace that feels manageable.
I work with children ages 8+, teens facing developmental and social pressures, and adults balancing personal, professional, and family demands. I also value partnering with parents and caregivers, recognizing that supporting a child often means supporting the entire family system.
Crosscurrent Health reflects my belief that growth often happens in the space between competing demands, emotions, and expectations. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about helping you navigate those crosscurrents with greater steadiness, confidence, and self-trust.
I offer virtual therapy with evening and weekend availability to support working professionals and families. My goal is to provide a grounded, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported as you move forward with intention.
If you’re ready for support, I’m here to help you take the next steady step.
