About Me
Joe DeGenova, LCSW
Welcome to My Practice
I’m Joe DeGenova, LCSW, and I offer psychotherapy for men who are navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, or issues regarding self-esteem, my goal is to help you explore what’s holding you back, reach a deeper understanding of yourself, and support you in making changes to build a more connected, fulfilling life. With more than three decades in mental health services—and over 15 years as a practicing psychotherapist—I bring warmth, curiosity, and an appreciation of human resilience into every aspect of my work.
I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we’ll uncover the deeper patterns influencing your experiences, work through emotional blocks, and develop strategies to help you thrive both personally and professionally.
Specialties & Expertise
I specialize in supporting men through a range of challenges, including:
- Anxiety & Depression

Therapeutic Approach
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which involves working together to help you better understand yourself, get at the root causes of your problems, and have other choices for how you want to live your life. I also bring my own life experience to the work. This includes being married to the same woman for 37 years, raising two children who are now adults, and dealing with my own bumps and bruises.
You’ll find that I bring empathy, a non-judgemental approach, and practical insight to the work—balancing serious reflection with encouragement for meaningful action and change
