Joel Kouame, LCSW
About me
I am a mental health practitioner licensed in New York, with experience working as a psychotherapist, as well as a life coach. I have worked with a wide range of clients, but I specialize with adolescents and young adults. I have worked with these clients to address a number of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and trauma.
My counseling style is focused on helping clients re-discover their own strengths. Too often when we are faced with the burdens of life we become overwhelmed and feel powerless, exhausted, frustrated, and/or hopeless. That's where I come in. Using a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, I look to help clients find the strength they always had to handle the stressors of everyday life.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joel Kouame. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Joel is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me immensely. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Joel is a very thoughtful, laid back counselor who respectfully encourages you to challenge your thought patterns and opt for healthier ones. I look forward to my weekly meetings with him and my continuing counseling.
