Expertise in Identity Exploration & Self-Discovery
My name is Joshua Bombino, and I specialize in helping individuals rewrite the stories that define their lives. With over 15 years of experience as both a Licensed Clinical Therapist and a Certified Integral Life Coach, I am an expert in helping clients navigate the “stuck” places where their current narrative no longer serves them. I believe that life rarely follows a straight path; through our work, we will craft a new story—one that is big enough to contain your strengths, your challenges, and your highest aspirations.
Specialized Clinical Focus: Men’s Issues & Masculinity
I provide expert support for men navigating the complexities of modern identity, fatherhood, and career. Many men feel pressured to fit into a rigid box of what it means to be “successful” or “strong.” I help my clients explore a broader, healthier sense of masculinity that includes emotional strength and resilience. Whether you are dealing with the fallout of a divorce or the “imposter syndrome” of an early career, we will work to build an identity that feels grounded and true to your values.
Expertise in Complex Transitions & LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
Life transitions—such as a new career, a medical diagnosis like cancer, or a change in relationship status—often trigger an identity crisis. I specialize in helping adolescents, young adults, and adults navigate these “in-between” spaces. My expertise includes:
LGBTQIA+ Identity: Providing a celebratory, affirming space to explore gender and sexuality.
Divorce & Life After Loss: Reclaiming your individual identity and purpose after a major relationship ends.
Early Career & Emerging Adulthood: Navigating the transition into the professional world while staying true to yourself.
A Multimodal, Action-Oriented Approach
I utilize a sophisticated, eclectic framework designed to help you integrate your past while crafting your future. I don’t just listen; I provide the tools and “Problem-Solving Strategies” necessary for transformation. My clinical toolkit includes:
Identity-Focused Narrative Work: To help you externalize external pressures and reclaim your internal truth.
Motivational Interviewing: For resolving ambivalence during periods of change.
ACT & CBT Interventions: To build the psychological flexibility needed to embrace a changing self.
Mindfulness & Existential Approaches: To foster radical self-acceptance and a deeper sense of being “alive.”
