*** Please schedule on the hour. Thank you! *** My name is Joy and I am a therapist in GA. It's always been my desire to work as a therapist and I am truly grateful to do the work that I do. My approach is collaborative and supportive. In a world full of challenges, my aim is to foster a therapeutic environment in which those I work with feel supported.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll take a few minutes to answer any questions you might have about the therapeutic process as well as the nuts & bolts of working together. This would be followed by me learning more about your current challenges & what your hopes are for our work together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Therapeutic modalities that I bring to each session vary depending on the client's needs, preferences, and presenting issue, but typically include elements of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Insight-oriented therapy. With any approach, I aim to support clients in nurturing a kinder relationship with themselves as well as creating a greater sense of contentment. I am also trained in hypnotherapy which can be helpful with many issues.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My work focuses primarily on working with women challenged with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, self-criticism/perfectionism, and those who may identify as highly sensitive or find themselves feeling frequently overwhelmed.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with clients seeking to make connections between current challenges and past experiences as well as those who wish to gain further clarity and insight into their challenges as a catalyst for change.
