About Joe DeLong

Life can become complicated for everyone from time to time. Each of us is born into a set of unique circumstances and challenges. Mental health struggles are easier to get through with a trusted person to talk to and reflect with, from week to week. I offer a safe space where people can come and be vulnerable in order to do the work to get to the root cause of their troubles. The approach I take with my clients is person-centered and collaborative, I believe in change through action.
