Andrea Joyce

Hello! I am Andrea Joyce. I have over 22 years of experience working with diverse populations in a number of settings. l am certified in trauma and grief. I have years of experience working with clients of all ages and I believe that meeting the person where they are presently at is often a good place to start in the therapeutic relationship.

I have worn many "hats" as a mental health professional, to include teaching in higher education, supervising, working with law enforcement, as well as spending many years working with DHHS and the foster care/juvenile justice system. I recently worked in a school district to provide school based therapy to students in three elementary schools. Additionally, I am certified in Adoption Competency and Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT). I love being a therapist and I love to help people reach the goals they wish to achieve through therapy. I look forward to being able to work with you!

My approach is very Person Centered. I feel meeting the person where they are at is helpful to understand the current struggles which, can also lead to discovering how things have built up to current struggles. I believe each person has to move at their own pace, one that is comfortable for them and allows to create trust with your therapist.

You can expect me to actively engage in sessions and truly listen to you. I want to know all about you and what brings you to Headway. I want to understand your struggles and assist with identifying areas that you wish to focus on in therapy. I am here to help, not to judge. I want to help you work through your current struggles and to gain skills that allow you to deal with the bumps that come with navigating through life. I want you to feel you are going to be successfu!!!!!
