Joshua Cooke

Joshua D. Cooke is a therapist who helps people find their way through what he calls the space between—the often-overlooked ground between who you were and who you're becoming, between pain and possibility, between performance and peace. His approach is grounded, values-based, and deeply informed by how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma, stress, and emotional disconnection. With over a decade of clinical experience, Joshua supports clients working through trauma, suicidality, co-occurring disorders, and the disorientation that comes from trying to “find yourself” in a world that constantly demands definition. He believes that healing doesn’t come from discovering your identity—it comes from learning how to stay present, take action, and build a life that reflects your values. Joshua holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern Oregon University and a Certificate in Positive Psychology from the University of Utah. He is trained in Integrated Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (IKAP), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and is Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed. His clinical work draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and trauma-focused approaches to help clients build emotional regulation, psychological flexibility, and meaningful momentum. As a Certified Trauma Professional, Joshua walks with clients through the stuck places—grief, shame, identity collapse, or long-standing self-criticism—and helps them rediscover what it means to choose who they want to be, even when the path forward feels uncertain. He is also a Level II Gottman-trained couples therapist, supporting partners in rebuilding trust, improving communication, and fostering emotional maturity through practical, evidence-based tools. “Therapy isn’t about uncovering a hidden self. It’s about learning to live with honesty and integrity in the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.”
