Joanna Little

With over 20 years experience, my path to counseling was unique. I started my career as a professional harpist and was brought into the providing music therapy in hospital settings. I found my calling and became a professional counselor. I have worked in mental health and addictions treatment outpatient counseling, providing care to individuals, couples, and families in-office and over telehealth, with college students as a campus counselor, created parenting classes and workshops to support and empower individuals to practice self-care and create healthier home and work places.

I use a non-judgmental strengths based approach with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and client centered practices to use a holistic approach for person to gain the skills to uplift themselves and find their healing as they define it.

I specialize in symptom management for mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, substance use, misuse, and addictions issues, and have a certification as trauma professional, as an ADD/ADHD professional and am certified in the treatment of eating disorders.

Clients can expect to feel heard, supported, and encouraged to define what their goals and healing looks like. As a therapist, I am directive and will guide the sessions to ensure clients get the most out of the time in cousneling. Sessions will focus on the support, steps, and wellness they want to accomplish to achieve their goals.
