Hi, I'm Mel Joy, a healer with 25+ years of experience witnessing how resilient people can be. We all experience ebbs & flows of transitions and struggles, while constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy, and I'm humbled and honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group therapy. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. No matter how different we may be, one thing we all share is the capacity for joy & pain, and everything in between.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected.

I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, life transitions, school or work stress, and relationship challenges. I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.

Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.

Hello, I began my career servicing individuals with my role of a “caseworker” forty years ago in 1986. With a B.A. in Liberal Arts I was able to help with the emotional and concrete needs of many community members. By 1997 I obtained my Masters In Social Work and immediately after my license. As a LCSW practitioner I have engaged and provided agency/personal intakes, crisis intervention, program development and directorship; Despite gaining managerial experience throughout my career, I’ve done individual therapy, family sessions, couples work and group work. The ages ranged five to seventy eight years old. For the last three years I have been engaging in telehealth therapy servicing individuals, from adolescence to adulthood and couples.

I am a mental health counselor who graduated with my MSEd from St. John's University with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate various theories and view counseling as integrative and eclectic approach to best suit needs of patients. Several which I use include:CBT, REBT, CPT, Behavior Therapy & Mindfulness-based Interventions including: (DBT, MBCT, & MBSR). I also use Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gestalt, Existential, SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) & others.

My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.

I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."

Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.
