Are the challenges of everyday life becoming too much to handle? Are you having difficulties with LGBTQ concerns, grief and loss, relationships, intimacy, physical illness or injury, or emotional health? When these struggles become overwhelming, you do not have to go it alone! My name is John David Joslin, LCSW. Please call me David. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. With caring and compassion, I will actively listen, help guide you in better understanding your problems, and help you discover solutions. I am a social worker and health educator with over 37 years of experience helping clients to solve problems, find peace of mind and make a fresh start in life. Let me help you with your healing journey. The time to start is now!
I provide online psychotherapy for adults who are basically mentally healthy and who need guidance in handling the challenges of everyday life. Psychotherapy involves professional guidance in resolving conflicts and emotional problems by helping people make healthy changes in ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This is accomplished by using cognitive behavioral techniques and psychoeducation.
I have made a long journey to find my truth. I am still on that journey. I want to help you on your journey to find your truth.

Dr. Joslin has helped me quite a lot in the month we have been working together. He is a great listener who will guide you toward your own answers but also take the lead when you are stuck.

Dr. Joslin has a sincerity about him..I've only had 3 sessions with him and each time i feel better about how long term therapy with him will improve my mental health. He is a great listener, especially when I ramble on in 10 directions at once lol..He offers just the right amount of advice, suggestions and positive reinforcement, while being completely open and honest. He's sweet, very insightful and down to earth..

Thanks David, for being open and sharing your story as a glimpse to help me unravel my own story. The one session I know has put me in a better mood than I have been in and helped me to recognize what is my own steps I need to take. You are amazing - please don't change.
