Joannah Ginsburg, LCSW, Clinical Psychotherapist

Joannah believes that when facing any struggle, there is an opportunity for cultivation of awareness, strength and growth. Difficult experiences can be of the most progressive and developmental.

Joannah has been working in the behavioral health field since 1993.  She received her graduate degree from the Ivy League’s University of Pennsylvania in 2002, where she specialized in organizational psychology and clinical psychotherapy.  Her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brandeis University entailed in depth study and laboratory work in neuroscience, beginning her formal study of what has been a lifelong fascination of the relationship between the brain and the body. She has worked with adults, adolescents,children and families in hospital, residential, school and community treatment centers across New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami and Scottsdale.   She worked in New York City treating survivors of the World Trade Attacks and their families.  Most recently, Joannah has been working with Texas Christian University on their eating disorder awareness week.

On a personal note, Joannah grew up in Boulder, Colorado in a spiritually minded, intellectual and progressive environment set against the Rocky Mountain foothills.  Her decision to be a therapist came at age 11, after reading the famed book on multiple personalities, Sybil. Joannah lost her mom, who was also her best friend, to cancer when Joannah was 21. It was a formative experience in her journey, to say the least

Joannah also teaches yoga, and believes very strongly in treating the body as well as the mind whenever possible.   She brings an approach of healing the mind and the body through drawing from many different approaches and techniques.
