I provide a therapy practice that is actively Anti-racist, Queer positive, Trans-affirming, and Sex positive. My priority is creating a space where you can be yourself without explanation or apology. I work with teens and adults, and I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders/OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders.

My approach is guided by the Greek concept of Filotimo—a deep-seated sense of honor, duty, and care for others. In practice, this means I show up with genuine respect and a commitment to your well-being, focusing on our shared humanity above all else.

Hi! As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I'm incredibly proud to say that I've worked in multiple settings with people from diverse backgrounds. I've most often worked with African-American men and women, Veterans, individuals suffering from depression, trauma, stress, relationship dysfunction, and substance abuse. Regardless of the issue, the initial question has always been the same: "How can I help this person navigate their world, and become the best version of themselves in the process?"

Joshua Friedman

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I believe that meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My first priority is getting to know you, understanding what has brought you to therapy, and creating an environment where you feel comfortable being open and authentic. I want you to feel that I am the therapist you’ve chosen—not the therapist you have to see.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families, and I take an individualized approach to therapy based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. Drawing from several evidence-based treatment modalities, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, identify the changes they want to make, and develop practical skills to support those changes.

Together, we’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from the process, and how our work together can help you move toward the outcomes that are meaningful to you.
