Hi, I'm Joel Black, LCSW.
I earned my MSW from the top ranked Washington University in St. Louis George Warren Brown School of Social Work. I have a history of working with and relating to individuals going through difficult times in their lives.
I’ve never been afraid of the tough situations. Whether it’s going into prison to teach incarcerated individuals to develop a plan for their lives when they are released, or helping them put their lives back together while in recovery from addiction, or developing tools to overcome life draining anxiety or depression, I approach all of my clients with the respect and dignity they deserve.
Contact me today to discuss how tele-mental health solutions work for a wide variety of clients. In most cases it is found to be as effective as face to face counseling, adding convenience and comfortability to the psychotherapeutic experience.
