About me

Hello, my name is Joseph Bermudez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in California with over 10 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, panic disorders, social anxiety, relationship issues, midlife crisis, communication problems, drugs and alcohol addiction, domestic violence, divorce and separation, parenting problems, impulsivity, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, guilt and shame, forgiveness, self-harm, and self-love. I also helped many individuals who have experienced physical, emotional and sexual trauma.

My counseling style is warm, friendly and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client centered-therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused, and trauma-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. No matter what struggle you are facing, I hope it is one that we can work on together. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to working with you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joseph Bermudez. 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.

Joseph was great! I had never had a male therapist before, and I felt really comfortable considering I do have a trauma hx with men. He was always on time, communicative, and just an all around great listener. He's a wonderful clinician. We only worked together briefly, but over all it was a positive experience.
