Joseph Ramsey, LCSW
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 21 years of experience in the field and 16 years providing counseling. I graduated with my Master of Social Work from Pitt in 2007. My approach to therapy is one of trust building and getting to know the individual. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your life. I believe in honest and direct communication. I have experience in community mental health and expertise in dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, domestic violence, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder (I and II), complex trauma (PTSD), and a variety of issues related to life changes that all of us experience. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Progressive Counting, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of other modalities that I can use to assist you in whatever issues you are experiencing. I look forward to working with you and sharing in your journey of healing.

Joe was extremely helpful and well informed on my issues and problems. He worked w me to help me figure out what I needed for help with meds and therapy. His support was extremely valuable in me getting back to being myself. Joe is a professional that really cares.
