Hi, my name is Jody (Joseph) Frey and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CO and MN. Thanks for reaching out and for wanting to learn more about me. I have been serving people for over 25 years in a variety of settings: military, business, and therapy. For the last eight years, I have been focusing on helping people resolve their trauma. I am EMDR trained as well as being a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) to better serve those struggling with deep hurts or wounds from the past. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point in Human Factor’s Engineering and a Master’s Degree from Argosy University in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I fully believe that no single approach works for all people in all situations so we will work to understand and define your unique challenges. From there, we work together to develop your goals and find the best plan to reach those goals. Sometimes, we might need to resolve past traumas, lessen your anxiety, or improve depressive symptoms. If this is the case, I work from a unique and very interactive approach to help you find peace and move forward. We will work on understanding the mind-body connection and how it impacts you. I also enjoy helping people advance their lives utilizing a coaching approach.
My therapy style has been developed from six years active duty as an Army Officer, 10 years in corporate leadership, 15 years running my own successful business, and seven years as a therapist helping others. My clients often enjoy my challenging and focused style and find comfort as we draw out their inner dialogue which is negatively impacting their current emotional state.
Outside of therapy, I love techie stuff and enjoy sports, working out, and playing video games.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Abandonment, Adoption and foster care, Attachment issues, Codependency, Communication problems, Dissociation, Eating and food-related issues, Family problems, Infidelity, Mood disorders, Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Self-harm, Self-love, Sex addiction, Sexual assault and abuse, Sexuality, Young adult issues

Joe is amazing. Highly recommend!

Joseph Frey has been great for me. I don’t open up easily and sharing deep things with strangers is not something I do (I rarely do with people I know so strangers is out of the question). He has been very friendly and I feel comfortable with him. He understands my hesitancy in sharing and has worked with me to at least talk to him.
Written on Mar 24, 2022 after therapy with Joseph for 11 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and family conflicts
Joseph has been the most insightful and honest therapist I’ve ever encountered. He has an innate ability to cut through the clutter and get to the root cause of any issue. I did not seek out therapy to have someone just hear my words and give me a shoulder to cry on - I sought out therapy to deal with the painful traumas that triggered and grew my negative habits. He is absolutely that therapist.

Jody Is easy to chat with and is kind to work on any area of help that you are comfortable. Even just a good encouragement when needed! I appreciate his faith that helps me stay on that path. Really gives me an outlet that is safe and I know my opinions are not being judged. Chatting with Jody during our lock down has been very helpful!

Jody is awesome. He’s clear, consistent, and doesn’t sugar coat. The way he leads the conversation when digging into deep, maybe hidden, layers of life is equally gracious as it is challenging.

We have actually only had one counseling session but I felt he had very good experience with family and teen problems which is a big issue for me now. He gives great real world advice and solutions I had not considered before. He does text daily in between counseling sessions which I appreciate very much.

He has done an amazing job challenging me to think in new, more productive ways. I also appreciate the guidance I receive from him rather than just asking how something may or may not make me feel. After speaking with him I feel empowered to make positive changes, not hide or use my struggles as a crutch.

Joseph has an amazing ability to know when I need a poke, when I need a push, and when I need space. I always feel completely comfortable and never pressured.

I highly recommend him.

Jody was excellent to have as a therapist. He helped me deal with some pretty substantial problems that I've been dealing with for years. He was very thoughtful but direct when he needed to be. Overall my experience was overwhelming positive. After a few months talking to him and working through everything I was able to go about my normal life again. I had gotten to the point where I couldn't sleep, was losing weight and started going gray (I'm in my 20's) from the stress of it. He was able to help me work through it and get back to a healthy mental state. 10/10 would recommend.

At first I was fairly skeptical of online counseling, but the ability to communicate with a counselor at any point during the day was helpful. I found that Joseph fry was very responsive. On top of that even quite available on weekends and evenings, which was very nice. I personally liked the style of counseling he used. He doesn't do it all for you... he pushed me to make my own choices and solve my own problems by pointing me in the right direction and giving me the tools needed. Then, when he could see that it clicked he would push me further to the edge and past what I thought I was capable of. Definitely helped me work through several issues personally. He taught me ways to work through other challenges that may arise after I've completed my counseling sessions.

This was the first time I have ever sought help for my anxiety. In the last 2 months Joseph gave me so many tools to use to help calm me down and work through the issues that cause my stress and anxiety. I feel he truly cares for those he's working with. Thanks again!

Jody has been wonderful to work with! He helped with marital counseling to help my husband and I improve our relationship. Jody was very accommodating with our restricted schedule and we left every session in a much better place than we started. Both my husband and I feel that Jody was incredibly helpful for us, and we will definitely come back to him again if we hit a rough patch!

I've done a lot of counseling through the years but this is the first time I've been able to attend to my issues throughout the week between the regular one on one appointments. Having someone there to listen when I need it and who keeps me moving in my recovery is amazing. Never experienced anything like it before and I'm appreciating it greatly.

Jody (Joseph) has been really wonderful in helping me identify and start to work on negative experiences and beliefs that are affecting me daily.

Absolutely brilliant! He helped me out of a pretty dark place and was nothing but helpful! For men who are looking for a counselor who understands what it is like to be a man in today's world with a family, with kids and responsibilities, job, etc, I was extremely impressed with his ability to get down to it and understand what I was talking about. He's great at getting to the root of the issue too. No need to slog through 8,000 words to find out what point he's trying to make. He has a knack for asking exactly the right question in about 2-3 sentences. If you're looking for a counselor who isn't the typical counselor, he's your guy!

Joseph is amazing. He is tough when I need the extra push to dig deep and be honest in facing the roots of my issues. He has helped me to discover major things about myself, and given me creative and unconventional ways to work through it. I feel like he genuinely cares and he even checks in with me when I haven't messaged for a day or two.

He helped my self esteem and would point me to God in every session. I really appreciated that! He's a wonderful counselor and is very easy to talk to.

I have been working with Jody for about a month now. He challenges me to become a better version of myself by reminding me who God says I am & gives me scripture to reflect on while at the same asking tough questions that require me to “sit down” as I like to call it & really dig deep behind the matter of my challenges. Jody never rushes my thoughts but instead listens & helps me to dissect them to get to the heart of the matter. He offers suggestions for books to read, scriptures to study, etc and for me I find that extremely helpful! Jody, you are doing work for the Lord & it really shows. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
