Joshua Pickett

Hello, my name is Josh! I am a Somatic Psychotherapist. That means that I use the physical body to guide the process of therapy.

Addictions Counselor in Long Beach, CA

About My Clients

Clients come to me for a variety of issues but primarily my clients are those struggling with developmental trauma, substance use, depression, and anxiety. Most of the clients that come to see me have a difficulties in relationship, self-esteem, and managing their own behaviors. Therapy become a place to feel affirmed (sometimes for the first time!) and begin to fully understand the authentic imprint that lives inside.

My Background and Approach

I have studied and practiced both Eastern and Western approaches to Psychotherapy. I am trained as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therpaist with an extensive work history that includes: children and family services, severe trauma treatment, and substance abuse treatment. I have worked in treatment centers, non-profits, schools, and private practice. I have also studied abroad in Thailand and explored longer term meditation retreats as a way to inform my understanding of healing and therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can heal and that there is no such thing as too far gone. I believe that Love is the answer and we intuitively have all of our own answers inside of us. I also know that when we don't have supportive relationships in our life this capacity becomes blocked, hidden under trauma. I believe that we heal in relationship and in community, it truly takes a village. I have dedicated my life to both receiving and providing relational medicine. It is truly an honor to do this work.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
