How Living Well Therapy Can Help You
— Joshua White, MSW, SEP
What Makes Living Well Therapy Different From Other Therapists
What enables Living Well Therapy to help you is how we combine mindful somatic therapy, parts work, and attachment-based therapy. We are especially focused on nervous system regulation because when your system feels safer, thinking gets clearer, emotions become more manageable, and relationships improve. Our style is direct, warm, and personal.
Body-Up Approach
Stabilize first, then work deeper
Body-Centered Healing
Work directly with the nervous system
Trauma-Informed Care
Safe, paced, compassionate
PTSD Treatment, Betrayal Trauma, Addiction Recovery, and Couples Counseling
We work primarily with people who have experienced significant trauma and are ready to do the deeper work of healing – regardless of what has occurred, especially those stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, or self-defeating patterns. We work with men, supporting them in their recovery journey and helping them develop a life of integrity. We work with betrayed partners, helping them heal from the trauma and devastation of betrayal. We also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship and improve communication.

Common Questions About Therapy and Treatment
When emotional distress like persistent sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm interferes with daily life, affecting sleep, appetite, work, or relationships, it is time for professional help. If you feel stuck, cannot cope with major life changes, use substances to manage, or have thoughts of self-harm, therapy can help. Additionally, when you want to improve an area of your life, seeking therapy can be beneficial.
You can expect a collaborative, steady process. We will work directly with what brought you in, at a pace your nervous system can handle. Some sessions will feel relieving; others may feel challenging - because real change takes honest work. My job is to offer compassion, structure, and support so you are not doing it alone, and so you leave sessions with more clarity and practical tools you can use in daily life.
Therapy length varies person to person and can be brief (5 to 10 sessions) or longer-term for complex issues and traumas. We check in regularly and adjust as your needs evolve.
Yes. The only things that are not confidential are when someone is at risk of harming themselves or others. There are a few legal and ethical limits, primarily if there is a risk of harm or in certain situations involving abuse or court orders.
No, Joshua does not prescribe medication. If medication might be helpful, Joshua can provide referrals to trusted psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners.
That is more common than people realize. Do not give up. Give Joshua a call, and you can discuss what you did in the past and how working together might be different, and provide healing and growth. Sometimes it is about fit, timing, or the approach used.
Joshua does not bill insurance directly but provides superbills (detailed receipts) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Please remember to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the full fee if the cancellation is less than 24 hours' notice.
