Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Joyce Brunson, and I’m the founder and lead provider at Lifeworks Behavioral Health Solutions, a telehealth practice dedicated to helping individuals of all backgrounds navigate life’s challenges with dignity, support, and expert care.

As a doctorate-level Nurse Practitioner (DNP, ACACNP, PMHNP-BC) licensed in North Carolina.

At Lifeworks, I provide personalized medication management for conditions including:

· Anxiety and panic disorders

· Depression and mood disorders

· PTSD and trauma-related symptoms

· ADHD and attention difficulties

· Weight-related concerns and chronic pain

My approach to therapy

I bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental health care. I am only providing medication management with combined supportive and cognitive approach at this time. Unable to accept new individual therapy requests at this time.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be heard and empowered. I work with clients with dual diagnosis, who may be struggling from depression or anxiety related from external factors. Care with me begins with a comprehensive assessment to develop treatment plan tailored to specific needs and goals. Plans may include medication management, adjustments, supportive therapy or referrals and networking for alternate care. I walk with clients on the journey.. At LifeWorks, your story matters, your healing starts HERE!
