Whitney Joyner
Hi there! I'm Whitney and I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I have been working with children and adolescents for many years. I specialize in individual counseling for children, adolescents and adults.
I have worked with children and adolescents for over 20 years and have been counseling them for 3 years.
I am dedicated to using different strategies and methods to help ensure all my clients are receiving care custom fitted to their needs.
First session
During our first session we will focus on gathering information about you and what you've been going through. You will get the opportunity to get to know me as well. With this information we will discuss goals and hopes for counseling and create an individualized plan to help accomplish these goals and hopes.
Strengths
I have worked with children and adolescents for over 20 years and have been counseling them for 3 years. I understand how these stages of life can be complicated in today's time and the importance in having someone to process and work through issues can be. I have worked with adults for 3 years as well and know how difficult facing adult scenarios can be as well.
Ideal clients
I love working with teens and young adults as well as children. In this time these stages are facing even more difficulties then ever before and helping them navigate their emotions and struggles in order to become successful adults is the goal. I also enjoy working with older adults to help them continue through adulthood in a healthy way.
Treatment methods
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
I feel it is very important to have good relationships between child and parent so I help the family work through difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is one of my main focuses of treatment, helping individuals evaluate their decisions and potential decisions to help with current and future concerns.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
By focusing on a specific issue it is possible to help solve a problem that is being faced.
