Joelle Dere
Licensed Clinical Social Workers
“No matter what you’re struggling with, there can be peace in your current situation and hope for your future. I founded Align Counseling Center as a safe space for children, teens, young adults, men, and women—and their families—to find support and healing, without the fear of judgment.”
About Me
At Align Counseling Centre, I believe peace and hope are accessible, whatever challenges you face. I created this safe space for children, teens, young adults, men, and women—and their families—to find support. Here, we can gently explore your current situation, navigating struggles without judgment. My aim is for you to discover new ways forward, building resilience. This collaborative approach suits anyone seeking a compassionate guide towards a more hopeful future.
Approach
When current challenges feel heavy, I focus on small, steady steps that help you find clarity and ease in the present. In my Verona office or during secure online sessions in English, we'll move at a pace you set—balancing grounded coping skills with room to process emotions. Work often includes brief experiments between meetings, regular check-ins about anxiety, mood, or past hurts, and practical strategies you can try at home. This way of working suits those looking for a gentle, honest path toward steadier days.
