Joseph Paglia

Joseph Paglia

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


My mother taught me and my brothers from a very young age not to ever hate anyone. Her words have been invaluable to me. My father instilled in us boys a mantra that too has served me well. He said to us innumerable times "Listen." Neither of my parents were strict disciplinarians, and they never used corporal punishment. But, from boyhood, through adolescence and into young adulthood, my brothers and I could count on a well-deserved lecture and extra chores if either of my parents ever caught us breaking one of these rules. My parents' philosophy helped steer me into my life's work, and I employ their beliefs daily in my career as a therapist. I believe people seek counseling so they can be accepted, validated and heard. I committed to myself long ago to never hate and to always listen to my patients/clients/consumers, regardless of their behaviors.Validation, empowerment and dignity are what I strive to create, cultivate and reap in every therapeutic alliance into which I enter.

Tam Cao

Tam Cao

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.

Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
