Our Name

A constellation is a set of separate points that make sense together. Therapy here works the same way: the thoughts, relationships and history that feel scattered start to form a picture you can steer by.

Who We Help

How We Work

We offer goal oriented therapy based on experience. A session might begin with an argument at home, panic during a work meeting, or a change in mood that you want to understand.

We ask what works, what helps, and what makes sense for the concern you bring. Your clinician may examine a thought with you, practice a response, or ask what you noticed after trying something between appointments.

Relationships and personal strength belong in the same conversation. We help people attend to their relationships while recognizing the strengths they use at school, at work, and with family. You can tell us when the focus needs to change.

What Our Clients Say

Hear from those we've helped

Brilliant therapists within this practice! I had the pleasure of interacting with all of them and they each have such strong specialities and skills. Joe in particular has been a life saver. As a therapist, he is so knowledgeable. I appreciate that he doesn’t just help people feel better, he teaches them how to help themselves. It makes the healing sustainable and I have not seen many therapists approach it in this way.

It takes a very special person to be able to help a child fighting mental illness and their family. After 4 previously failed attempts, we found Joe. He put himself at my son’s level physically and emotionally, successfully connecting like no one else had been able to. His humor, warmth and sincerity was genuine and my son felt it. He saved us. He saved my son. We are forever indebted. And now 11 yrs later, my son is a healthy, happy and thriving young adult with a good job, friendships, in a healthy loving relationship.

I highly recommend New Constellation! I’ve been with Joe for four years. He’s helped me through the toughest moments of my life. I am not a talker, but he makes me feel like I can say whatever is on my mind without any judgment on his part. As a bonus, he is also one of the funniest people I know. I’ve also been working with Travis for couples therapy sessions and he is amazing when it comes to getting us to a vulnerable place. I can’t recommend them enough!

Working with Joe has been life-changing. He’s the best therapist I’ve ever had—genuinely kind, deeply understanding, and completely real. From the start, I felt like I could trust him with anything, and that trust helped me conquer fears and anxieties I never thought I’d overcome. Joe created a safe space where I felt seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he’s helped me through.

Madeline (age 20)

Joe is a super star for my family. He has particularly helped my teenager come back from crippling anxiety and has led our family back to a place of communication and more calm.

I have been to a couple different therapists and counselors over the course of my life, but I’ve never clicked with them as easily as I have with Cameron. He asks insightful questions and helps dig to the root cause of what is going on in my life. We’ve broached subjects such as anxiety, my personal/career aspirations, relationships, and more. I would definitely recommend him for both individual or couples therapy, and greatly appreciate all the help he has been and continues to be!
