I am licensed in Connecticut with 32 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & managing life transitions and challenges. I also have experience working with depression, grief, relationship concerns and personality/attachment style & characteristics. I have been on BetterHelp almost two years full-time, to pursue my original career dream to help others, individually, one client at a time. This comes after many years working in both inpatient and outpatient hospital and varied community settings, with diverse adult populations, serving in management and supervisory roles while always keeping my hand in clinical care provision -including during the pandemic.
I believe that you are the expert of your story: "the Narrator"--and I would be honored to help you as you narrate and navigate your life story. I operate from the perspective that you have many strengths and solutions within you that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Lastly, I subscribe to the notion that with my active listening and sensitivity to the topics you bring to therapy, in a completely judgement-free zone, with some reframing, feedback, gentle suggestions and sense of humor when needed, together we can create a trusting working alliance that may assist you in your therapeutic journey! Thank you for taking the time to review my information.
Warm Regards,
Joeli

Even though our sessions were done via video, I could still feel Joeli’s warmth and non-judgmental attitude which created safe place for me to rent and review my problems. She counters my inner critic and is my personal cheerleader. It almost feels like she’s re-parenting my inner child and healing her.

I have had two sessions so far with Joeli and it has been going well. I'm a lifelong patient at various stages and have been accustomed to the specific thing I need help on so I'm already quite versed with. I needed affirmations initially and she helped with that.

Joeli actually cares. She is attentive, empathetic, validating, supportive, and calm. She guides the patient through their thoughts and actively listens. I’m very happy as I have been trying to find the right fit for me for years now with other therapists. I think I’ve finally found “the one”.
