Joey Stoops is a Professional Counselor Candidate. He holds a masters in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. He works with adolescents and adults in individual telehealth sessions. Joey's approach to therapy is that there are no bad parts of ourselves, but that parts of ourselves cause suffering by being disconnected from the Self. By reconnecting lost parts with our Self we can live more empowered and authentic lives. The stories we tell are an important part of who we are. And they often lead us to the unprocessed pain we carry.
Joey uses mindfulness skills developed through his 7 years of meditation practice. In his words, "Sometimes what we need is to just stay present with our suffering. And in order for that to happen, we need someone who is willing to stay present with us."
Joey appreciates and proudly supports all individuals who carry marginalized identities such as LGBTQ, racial and cultural minorities, military veterans, physically challenged persons, persons in poverty and others not named. His therapeutic training is in Gestalt therapy, Transpersonal psychology, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.
