Joseph Voors

As a seasoned therapist with a deep commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community, Joseph Voors brings a wealth of experience to his practice at San Francisco Therapy Collective. His compassionate approach is shaped by years of working with individuals facing a diverse range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to the complexities of HIV status and end-of-life experiences.

Joseph's therapeutic expertise spans a broad spectrum of issues, making him particularly well-suited to support clients through life's most challenging moments. He has honed his skills in addressing trauma, substance use, and relationship concerns, always with a keen understanding of how these issues uniquely impact members of the LGBTQIA+ community. His work with couples, children, and families demonstrates his versatility and commitment to fostering healthy relationships across all life stages.

As a queer therapist himself, Joseph brings a personal understanding of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals in a society that can often be shaming and abandoning. This insight informs his practice, allowing him to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their identities and experiences without judgment.

Joseph's educational background provides a strong foundation for his therapeutic approach. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Francisco State University, where he focused on Cognitive Theory and life span developmental theory. His work at the University's child research center with 4 and 5-year-olds adds depth to his understanding of early childhood development. Building on this, Joseph pursued a Masters in Clinical Social Psychology from New College of California, where he delved into psychodynamic and analytic therapy. This advanced training sharpened his focus on the interplay between societal influences and individual experiences, particularly for queer individuals.

At San Francisco Therapy Collective, Joseph combines his academic training, professional experience, and personal insights to offer a unique therapeutic experience. His approach is grounded in empathy, informed by research, and tailored to the specific needs of each client. Whether working with individuals grappling with social anxiety or couples navigating relationship dynamics, Joseph's goal is to empower his clients to live authentically and thrive within their communities.
