Joseph W. LaFleur

I am Licensed Independent Clinical Social worker with a Master’s of Social Work and have been practicing in the therapy community for the past 12 years. Some areas of expertise include issues with relationships, depression and anxiety, life transitions, college-life, intimacy, and grief. I work mostly with young adults and adults, both men and women of all sexual orientations and ethnicities. I create a safe, comfortable environment to share and explore your thoughts and areas you want to work on. My goal is to help you identify the problems in your life and guide you through the necessary steps with appropriate therapeutic modalities to improve your situation and give you a better quality of life.

I am a dedicated therapist and social worker who treats each individual client with care, respect, and very specific treatment approaches in order to suit your particular needs.
