Joshua Mustain
MA, LPC, NCC
Josh Mustain, L.P.C., approaches psychotherapy and counseling as a collaboration between himself and those who he works with. Josh believes that the possibility of actualizing some of the changes that many of us desire in our lives comes from the power that is inherent in the counseling relationship and in the sharing of common goals within that relationship. In his private practice, Josh aims to aid individuals in minimizing stress in its many forms, discover methods that serve to reduce anxiety-based symptoms, disrupt depressive mood-based behaviors and beliefs, instill competency with regard to emotional regulation, and uncover the ways that previous adverse or traumatic experiences continue to inform one’s reality. Josh’s clinical experience includes both group and individual psychotherapy for men, women, young adults, and adolescents.
