Joy Chow

Hi, my name is Joy. I have the privilege of working with Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing clients using spoken English and American Sign Language. I work with clients navigating the intricacies of grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression and life transitions. My training includes trauma-informed care and EMDR. This type of alterative therapy has benefited clients seeking various options for addressing unprocessed intergenerational trauma.

I am also a Certified Grief Educator committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief.

My clients have described my approach as empathetic & validating, meeting them where they are. I am actively engaged and able to guide clients in uncovering any past memories impacting current relationship with self and others. I provide a safe space without judgement, and will work with you to develop helpful tools and resources.

Clients typically say they feel better at the end of our first session. This is a partnership, and I strive to work together with my clients to set goals tailored to their treatment of care. These goals may include reframing negative thinking, practicing self-compassion, and safely processing their emotions.
