Joan has worked in her private psychotherapy practice located in Park Slope, Brooklyn for over twenty-five years. She is the co-founder and co-director of PCS -- Personal Change System -- since its inception in 1993. She also developed Parental Coaching Method as a natural extension of her long history of working with children and families.
Joan helps people transform life’s stresses in relationships, parenting, work and health. Joan is deeply non-judgmental and compassionate and offers the seasoned patina of over twenty-five years of therapy, coaching, supervision and training. Some of the many therapeutic modalities she’s studied include Modern Psychoanalysis, family therapy; child therapy; art therapy, energy healing, and Gestalt therapy. Additionally, Joan uses meditation, self-hypnosis, healing imagery, and visualization to enhance her own life,
Joan has created a unique method for helping people achieve their true potential. She uses a combination of talk therapy, empathy, cognitive therapy, and finally, an understanding of the physiological reasons that keep our brain from changing. She provides real methods to “assist” the brain to learn new ways of coping and thinking, thereby helping people create the life changes they desire.
Joan has conducted various workshops and groups some of which are:
- “Start to Finish” workshops to help start and complete projects.
- Relationship Groups
- "Partnerships: Propelling Women into Business"
- "Partnerships: Healing the wounds of past relationships.” The Whole Life Expo
- Re-Discover Yourself, Queensboro College
- Adult Children of Alcoholism Workshops
