CCC Counseling Services Therapist - Joanne Laush

Joanne Laush

MSW, LCSW

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor and privilege to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals and objectives arise through a process of critical inquiry and self-exploration. An individual through their behavior informs on what is needed in reaching optimal functioning. This, of course, is simply stated as core beliefs, thoughts and emotions impact the outcome as well.

My role is to support clients as they learn to tap into their innate abilities to sort through their thoughts and emotions and create and incorporate viable solutions that reflect on self and its relationship with its multiple milieux. The client learns to simultaneously and effectively engage, adapt and stay connected to their truth, their Ikigai, their reason for being.

To paraphrase a great ancient philosopher, Lao Tzu, “At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.”

I take an integrative approach borrowing from various schools of thought in creating a treatment plan that addresses the needs and goals of the individual, couple and family. Some of these approaches include psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based and rational emotive behavioral therapies in conjunction with complementary techniques such as hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique, Psychodrama and play therapy.

Reach out to me for further inquiry on my approach and expertise. And, as you journey through life, I wish you well, I wish you awe, I wish you joy.

“Don’t think about why you question, simply don’t stop questioning. Don’t worry about what you can’t answer, and don’t try to explain what you can’t know. Curiosity is its own reason. Aren’t you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality? And this is the miracle of the human mind — to use its constructions, concepts, and formulas as tools to explain what man sees, feels and touches. Try to comprehend a little more each day. Have holy curiosity.” – Albert Einstein

“Ask for help. Not because you are weak, but because you want to remain strong.” Knowing when to reach out and ask for help is a HUGE step in your journey to healing – and look, here you are! As a therapist, I understand that therapy is not a “one size fits all” service and I strive to walk alongside my clients as they seek emotional well-being. It is my job to collaborate with you, the expert, while guiding and empowering you to identify and reach attainable goals in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment.

After obtaining my Masters degree from Rutgers University, I have had the opportunity to work with children, teens and adults doing in-home and school-based counseling, as well as counseling at non-profit agencies. I utilize a holistic, person-centered and strengths-based approach because every client comes with their own unique experiences and stories.

Life can be tough, but so are you! I have experience working with children, teens and adults and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard and valued as we work together to build on your strengths! By taking this first step, you are beginning your own personal journey! I aspire to support and empower you, one step at a time!

CCC Counseling Services Therapist - Amy Dolce

Amy Dolce

MSW, LSW

“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” – Henry Ford

I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. When we’re struggling emotionally or mentally, it impacts every part of our lives—our relationships, our work, our physical well-being, and our sense of self. Caring for your mental health isn’t a luxury; it’s essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. Reaching out for support is a powerful and meaningful step—and it’s one you don’t have to take alone.

I offer a supportive, compassionate space to help you navigate life’s challenges using a person-centered and strength-based approach. With experience as both a crisis worker and an in-home care manager, I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan—from children to older adults—and have supported clients through a wide range of issues and life transitions.

Together, we’ll incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Our work will always be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not a lecture—so I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Let’s work together to help you become the best version of yourself.
