About Joel Cortese —
EdS, LPC, NCC

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients better navigate obstacles that have postponed them from obtaining their personal goals. I focus on working primarily with adolescents and adults, suffering from symptoms of anxiety, by utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy. I apply a client centered and solution focused approach, aligning with my clients to facilitate the therapeutic process, while working towards their goals. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults in the community and within the school system. I pursued my undergraduate education in Psychology from Seton Hall University. I continued in graduate school to earn a MA in School Counseling and an EdS in Professional Counseling from Seton Hall University. I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor, New Jersey Certified School Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. My passion has always been helping others and I look forward to the opportunity to work together!
