Joshua Eades, MSEd, Therapist
Bio
After working in supply chain management for 15 years, I realized that I needed to find work that was more meaningful and in alignment with my personal values. I began working as a paraprofessional in a pre-school setting, and eventually decided to return to graduate school. Currently, I am completing a degree in Clinical Counseling, and I find joy in working with individuals, couples, and families. My areas of interest include helping people recover from trauma, attachment wounds, and substance-related difficulties.
As someone who understands how difficult it can be to reach out for support and receive it, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for my clients. As a therapist, my aim is to facilitate my clients' personal growth and transformation by providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can explore their feelings and experiences. Though I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches, I primarily operate from a person-centered approach that recognizes the potential for self-healing and growth in each individual. This approach is focused on creating a strong therapeutic relationship based on empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard.
I have three children, ages 21, 20, and 2 with a baby on the way. I have been through a divorce and understand the challenges of navigating this difficult life experience. My wife, who is also a therapist, and I enjoy living an active life style particularly spending time hiking with our Golden Retriever. I consider myself a life long learner and enjoy reading and listening to podcasts about a variety of topics including nutrition, physical wellness, mental and emotional well-being, men’s issues, etc. My personal healing and wellness journey has included a daily yoga practice, daily meditation, daily workouts, and I have completed two marathons. I have not always managed to sustain a daily practice in these disciplines so I also know a little something about how challenging it can be to “get back on track” so to speak.
If you feel I may be the right fit for you I would be honored to be a part of your own healing journey.

Trauma Treatment- Brainspotting
Brainspotting works on the theory that feelings from trauma can become stuck in the body, leading to both physical and mental ailments. It is believed that the brain’s memory of a particular trauma or incident is “reset” in the body and brain through Brainspotting.
