CJ Joerg

CJ deeply believes that a person’s past does not define their future. With a potent blend of empathy and expertise, she is passionate about helping individuals uncover their innate resilience and capacity for healing. Her approach is rooted in the belief that even the most painful histories can be transformed into sources of strength.

Having grown up in foster care, CJ brings a lived understanding of adversity—not as her reason for becoming a therapist, but as a quiet source of strength that has shaped her superpower: the ability to sit with any form of trauma without judgment or shock. Her presence is steady, compassionate, and unshakable—able to hold space for stories that are often too heavy for others to carry.

Specializing in trauma-informed and somatic therapies, CJ supports individuals, couples, and families through experiences of PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma. Her mission is to guide clients toward a life marked by grace, growth, and resilience.

I take a trauma-informed, somatic, and client-centered approach to therapy—believing that healing happens not just through insight, but through the body, relationships, and a sense of safety. I integrate modalities like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and DBT, always tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs. My role is to hold space without judgment, support nervous system regulation, and help clients reclaim their stories with compassion, clarity, and strength.

In our first session, my goal is to create a safe, grounded space where you feel seen, not scrutinized. We’ll begin building a genuine connection while I gently gather information to complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment. This means I’ll ask about different aspects of your life, your history, current challenges, strengths, and goals—but always at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This session is about beginning to understand your story, not rushing to fix anything. My focus is on listening deeply, holding space for whatever you bring, and laying the foundation for collaborative, personalized care moving forward.
