Josh Friedman, Psy.D, CFMP, FDN-P

Dr. Josh Friedman earned his doctorate in Psychology from New York University and did post-doctoral training in Psychoanalysis from the Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology (TRISP) in New York City. After working in the field for a few years, he realized that something was missing from traditional mental health treatment.

Curiosity and a chance meeting led him to discover the world of Nutritional Psychology, which teaches that many psychological issues are caused or made worse by underlying biochemical/nutritional deficiencies. Along the way he became certified as a yoga teacher, incorporating the emphasis on breathing techniques, meditation and movement into his work, as essential tools for working with mental health at the deepest levels.

To enhance his effectiveness in helping people heal and grow, he became certified as a Holistic Health Counselor at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and went on to earn a Diploma of Comprehensive Nutrition (Dip.CN) from Huntington College of Health Sciences. He has been lead to go deeper into the biochemistry of mental health by becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and studying with mental health nutrition greats such as Julia Ross, MA, Dr. Charles Gant, MD, and Dr. William Walsh, Ph.D.

Dr. Josh has an Integrative Psychotherapy practice in Omaha, Nebraska and has a web based mental health functional medicine practice called Alternative Mental Health Solution to help people find and fix the ROOT causes of their mental health struggles.
