Joy Childs

My desire is to offer specified competent and compassionate care for those learning to cope with a variety mental health concerns.

I strongly believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect. My approach to therapy is person-centered and collaborative, meaning I work with you to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process your thoughts and emotions. I strive to offer unconditional positive regard and provide helpful tools to cope with life's challenges, build awareness and knowledge of mental health concerns, and reshape negative patterns of thought and behavior.

Ultimately, my goal is to see you grow in meaningful ways, leading to increased acceptance and security in who you are, as well as a realistic vision for a hopeful future. Together, we can work on building successful relationships, healing from past wounds, and finding the resources you need to thrive.

If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this journey together.

I seek to be goal-oriented in sessions and will work to identify symptoms they may point towards a reasonable diagnosis in order to follow up with appropriate treatment goals.

My training includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, polyvagal therapy, and shame-informed therapy, allowing me to offer a diverse range of therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs.
