Dr. Joseph Toste - Therapist in Wellington, FL

I am a passionate psychotherapist who provides a supportive, empowering space for individuals. With over 20 years of experience, my practice focuses on treating trauma, eating disorders, chronic mental health issues, anxiety, and mood disorders.  I treat adults and adolescents facing challenges such as eating disorders, trauma, stress management, and life transitions.  Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful, and holistic approach to care, free of judgment.  I am passionate about working at Caring Therapists because of the safe space the agency provides to clients seeking a greater quality of life.  I enjoy traveling, English Bulldogs, and being involved in the eating disorder recovery community.
