Welcome to Introspective Therapy. My name is Joanna Tozer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of professional experience. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz in 2003, and a Master in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2007.

My professional endeavors in the government and private sectors served a diverse population in the state of California including inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. I was the Supervising Social Worker for a prestigious hospital in an acute care setting in the San Francisco Bay Area. I managed four outpatient programs treating adolescents and adults experiencing mental illness and chemical dependency. My psychotherapy training enabled me to specialize in treating severe anxiety, depression and addiction.

In psychotherapy I develop a nurturing and supportive relationship. My psychotherapeutic approach is collaborative and action based. I received certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I look forward to hearing from you and discovering how together we can best achieve your goals in life.
