Joseph Fincher

Counseling Student Intern

Under supervision of Rosemary D. Behrens, PhD, LPC-S

I am a Counseling Student Intern, in my final year of study at Texas Southern University, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Houston community as a part of the Inner Peace Counselors, PLLC team.

Prior to my final year of study (2010-2023), I served the Baytown and Houston communities as an educator helping students to focus on and improve their English Language Arts and Reading skills. This experience provided me with a wealth of knowledge in working with our youth and serving as teacher, mentor, and guide through many of the struggles that come along with adolescence.

My focus is on working with clients who are experiencing trauma as a result of the challenges life can throw at us. Areas of specialty include accidents, cancer, LGBTQIA+ issues, and HIV; however, these are not the only areas of mental health that I can help with. I also work with clients with ADHD, anxiety and depression, including: general anxiety disorder, PTSD, and major depressive disorder (episodic or chronic), as well as men's issues. 

My focus treatment modalities are mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, Sandtray therapy, Reiki, and walk-and-talk therapy, all rooted in Existential theoretical approach. During our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and set a plan of how you want to proceed. This may include one or a combination of the types of therapy that I offer. We will tailor our time to suit your needs.

 

I work with clients ages 7 through end of life. 

I believe that each of us deserves a chance at finding a balance within our lives. This may include counseling over the long-term or the occasional "reset" session. I am here to serve and to help you find that balance so that you can pursue life on your own terms and find the best "you" that you can be.

Lo siento, pero no hablo español. Si necesitas los servicios de un consejero o una consejera que habla espanol, envíame un mensaje y puedo conectarte con un consejero o consejera bilingüe. Muchísimas gracias.

If you are in crisis, please call 911 or go to your local Emergency Department.
