Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from PA with a Masters Degree in Social Services from Bryn Mawr College. I have 15 years of diverse experience across various clinical settings. Specializing in supporting adults facing mental wellness challenges, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to overcome obstacles and achieve wholistic well-being. I bring compassion, expertise and a strengths based approach to my therapy practice, fostering a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
In our first session you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you have the opportunity to share your concerns, goals and hopes for therapy. I will begin by introducing myself, explaining the therapy process, and discussing confidentiality and consent. I will invite you to discuss what brings you to therapy, your background and any other relevant current information. Overall, the initial session is a chance for me to get to know you better and lay the foundation for our therapeutic journey ahead.
Having an affinity for the well-being of people I have developed an empathic spirit and have been able to create a safe and non judgmental space for my clients, and my skill for building therapeutic relationships. I excel in active listening, validation and providing compassionate support to the people I serve.
I enjoy helping individuals who struggle with finding their value and self worth amidst setbacks. I offer a safe space to explore and redefine their value and sense of worth.

CBT is a widely used approach that involves identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors to promote healthier mental well being. I can help clients explore and reframe their thoughts, provide support and offer coping strategies.
This model emphasizes cultivating self-compassion and empathy towards self and others. Using this approach helps clients develop an understanding of self acceptance of their own struggles, fostering a sense of kindness and warmth towards themselves, promoting emotional resilience, healing, and a more compassionate outlook on life.
Grief therapy focuses on helping individuals cope with the loss of a loved one. I provide a supportive environment for clients to express their emotions, thoughts, and memories such as story telling, journaling and creative expression may be used to facilitate the grieving process. I help individuals develop coping strategies to adjust to life without their loved one.
Trauma Informed Care involves recognizing the wide-spread impact of trauma and creating a space that promotes safety, trust and empowerment for the individual. Using this approach I prioritize understanding and the potential impact of trauma on an individual's life and tailor each intervention accordingly.
Strength Based Therapy focuses on identifying and building upon an individual's strengths, resources, and capabilities rather than solely focusing on deficits or weaknesses. By highlighting these strengths I empower clients to develop confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy in addressing challenges that may be present.

Very warm and authentic approach to conversations. I was skeptical about therapy because I think I am VERY self aware already. Turns out... I NEED THERAPY! Go figure. I am very grateful that I gave it a try, and God would have it no other way for me than to be introduced to a better mental health journey than through Veronica Joyner first. I feel favored. Thank you, God. And thank you, Veronica, for listening. :)

She listens without interjecting.

I just had my first session with Veronica and she actually helped me feel good after my session. She was very friendly to me and she actually made me laugh and that helped me be more open to her. She is very open on hearing everything I had to say and she is so gentle! I highly recommend Veronica and I am excited for my next session!
