Josh Wizman

Psychotherapist, LCSW

I am a queer licensed clinical social worker of color. I offer individual psychotherapy to young adults seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma, sexuality, and gender identity. I have experience predominately working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities with a particular interest and expertise in late adolescence.

About

My training has been rooted in relational approaches focusing on the sociocultural effects on the psyche and early relational experiences that connect to symptoms in the present. I oppose societal structures that promote capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and white supremacy, and, to this end, I am attuned to how these structures define mental illness.

I aim to cultivate an authentic and playful space that is rooted in empathy, humor, and patience. In our work together we will begin to bring language and form to experiences and emotions that may be difficult, elusive, and overwhelming. Through reflecting and listening in new ways we can bring change into how we feel and relate to ourselves and others.

I have a Masters in Social Work from Hunter Silberman School of Social Work. I have completed advanced training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and The Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center.
