Joshua Wong

Sometimes we wonder, “How did I get here?” “Is this who I’m supposed to be?” and “Where do I belong?” When we lose connection with our authentic selves, the rest of who we are seems distant or in a fog. Parts of us keep it together, parts of us are just surviving, and parts of us want more.

Let us reclaim our lives, restore our humanity and renew our focus.

Hi, I’m Joshua Wong. I’ve been practicing for about 10 years. Ever since I can remember, people have told me, you have a knack for listening and you’re easy to talk to. I remember in high school, there was a year where we experienced many losses. I found myself wanting to sit with people and bear witness to their stories and experiences.

I have worked with all forms of trauma in my career. Over time, traditional talk therapy wasn’t serving my clients as well as I had hoped for them. I started to look at the brain and body in its connection to how trauma is lived out. I am EMDR Certified and becoming more IFS informed. I look at attachment and systems to really get to the heart of those initial questions above. I love seeing clients light up with the “aha” moment or allowing their bodies to release the shame and pain they’ve held onto for so long. 

This is about whole life therapy. An integration of self, relationship, and community, so that we can shift the language from “What’s wrong with me” to understanding, “What’s happened to me?” 

Driftwood conjures up the images of rebirth and renewal. Let me walk with you. Let me join your journey.
