Wherever you are in your journey, that’s where we’ll begin
At Counseling for Joy, you won’t find a canned curriculum, pages of forms to fill out, a prescription for drugs, or clichéd advice. You may bring your prior diagnosis, but we won’t stop there. Your life experiences, physiology, family, moods, thoughts and goals will be warmly included in our work.
Click on the “My approaches” tab and select “The Medical Model” from the drop down menu to see which medical diagnosis we work with. Otherwise you won’t see them on this site because we serve people and their unique problems, not labels that were created for the convenience of others.
What you’ll find in this partnership is what you bring: yourself. Together we’ll explore the concerns, the pain, and the questions that you’ve encountered along your way. My commitment is that you’ll emerge with a deeper sense of well-being, vibrant health, purpose, resolution, and joy each time you leave this place.
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
