Tools That
Actually Work.
The books and tools I recommend most often to clients — built on the same evidence-based methods we use in session. No fluff, no pop-psychology fads.

The Body Keeps the Score
Bessel van der Kolk's landmark work on how trauma reshapes body and brain — and the paths to recovery. The book I recommend most to clients working through trauma.
About the book →Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
David Burns' classic on cognitive behavioral techniques for depression. Decades old, still one of the most effective self-help books ever tested.
About the book →The Happiness Trap
Russ Harris' introduction to ACT — teaches you to stop fighting your mind and start living by your values. A great companion to our work together.
About the book →The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anxiety
Step-by-step exercises based on the same CBT methods I use in sessions. Ideal between sessions or as a structured self-guided start.
About the workbook →Between-Sessions Journaling
A structured reflection system I set up with active clients — short, focused prompts that build on what we work on in session. Ask me about it.
Ask Josh →A Personal Recommendation
Tell me what you're dealing with and I'll point you to the one resource I'd start with — even if you never book a session.
