Iyashema Redd
As an educator, therapist, and community leader, I have dedicated my life’s work to supporting individuals, couples, children, teens, and young adults in recognizing the profound impact their choices have on their futures and relationships. My personal experiences, values, and unwavering drive fuel my passion for creating a safe, supportive space where individuals and families can access the resources and guidance they need to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and hope.
At Justyn’s Corner, my vision is to plant a “seed” of hope by offering comprehensive mental health, behavioral, advocacy, and educational services tailored to K-12 students and their families.
I founded Justyn’s Corner Child and Family Counseling Center, Inc. after the birth of my second son with special needs. In my search for a space to talk openly, find resources, and navigate this new reality, I quickly realized how difficult it was to access the necessary support. The anxiety and isolation I experienced during that time ignited my mission to create a space that fosters love, safety, and understanding—a space where families no longer feel alone in their journey. At Justyn’s Corner, my vision is to plant a “seed” of hope by offering comprehensive mental health, behavioral, advocacy, and educational services tailored to K-12 students and their families. By providing the right support, I believe we can empower individuals and families to make meaningful life choices that promote healing, growth, and connection. With a deep commitment to advocacy and inclusivity, I continue to pay it forward by ensuring that every individual who walks through our doors feels heard, valued, and supported—because no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
First session
During our initial sessions, we will build a safe place to discuss troublesome issues together and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
Strengths
My greatest strength is my knowledge in various areas of support. I have had the pleasure of not only understanding how to help clients individually and with their relationships. I am also skilled in understanding developmental behaviors in children and how this will manifest in our lives as adults. I also work with families with a loved one who may have special needs and understand the family dynamics and adjustments needed.
Ideal clients
I am eager to support clients who are ready to make a positive difference in their lives. I will help clients understand their struggles and create healthier relationships with all of their loved ones.
Treatment methods
Compassion-Focused
I have over 20 years of experience with using Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism, often resulting from early experiences of abuse or neglect. I help clients cultivate self-compassion and other-oriented compassion, which are thought to help regulate mood and lead to feelings of safety, self-acceptance, and comfort.
Couples Counseling
I enjoy working with couples of all types to recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. I will provide positive communication and thoughtful homework assignments so that you and your partner can learn to make more thoughtful choices and decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or coming to the decision to end your relationship.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I specialized in being and using culturally sensitive therapy, which is understanding the client's background and belief system as it relates to their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other vital elements that make up someone's culture and identity. I provide cultural sensitivity to your work to accommodate and respect differences in the opinions, values, and attitudes of various cultures and different types of people and to provide the most effective treatment.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I have 20 years of experience in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. I like using this form of therapy with clients who want to concentrate on how their current circumstances and future hopes impact their daily lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My specialty is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. I have used this treatment modality with people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. That helps address numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many other mental health and behavioral conditions.
