HONESTY IS RARE.
NOT HERE.
Josephine Tynes believes that honesty is the catalyst for meaningful transformation. Her approach balances the rawness of truth with the empathy of lived experiences to provide a respectful, deeply human experience for her clients and partners. Her passion resides in the power of change that is possible when meeting the reality of a situation face to face.
By discovering truth, Josephine assists clients in reducing the barriers in their lives and work through the issues that have caused pain, loss, and harmful coping. The result is authentic change and reclaiming positive aspects that were once thought to be lost.
“A huge part of seeking safety is transparency. A lot of people treat trauma survivors with kid gloves and don't share the truth of the situation– we all know when someone is lying to us, so it actually creates a lack of safety when a clinician wants to create safety.”
–JOSEPHINE TYNES

FOUNDER AND CEO, THE RECOVERY COACH NYC
I met Josey Tynes of Parallels Consulting many years back when she was part of an innovative crew of clinicians that stood out against the average backdrop of therapeutic practices. Josey was a leader among her peers then, and continues to galvanize innovative, compassionate, and effective clinicians to do the hard work of helping us all get better.
Over the past fifteen years I worked with members of the Parallels team beyond Josey, and have been able to collaborate on client care in rare ways. Speaking about Josey she has the ability to see clients from a caring and lucid lens utilizing a variety of evidence based approaches to empower her clients in their attempt to find meaning. This lens and approach are the basis for the style of supervision and support she offers here clinical partners.
I would absolutely trust Josey, and the Parallels team to treat anyone that I love. They are honest, ethical, and talented.

Josey is a phenomenal therapist who blends a unique ability to connect with her patients in deeply personal ways while simultaneously supporting them through their own journeys. She has an incredible ability to use real-life examples to break down the most personal and deeply emotional problems, supporting her patients as they work with her through their therapy. The practice she and Sean have built is impressive, yet they remain humble, approachable, and nimble enough to provide bespoke care to a wide variety of patients and families. I feel fortunate to have worked with Parallels and could not ask for a better, more dedicated team of caregivers.
