As someone who has been a school counselor I realize that a child's mental health is often times directly correlated to their parents mental health. For that reason I love serving children and or adults that struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I also have a huge heart for those who are in need of pregnancy related counseling. Those dealing with loss, infertility, or postpartum depression are a population that is underserved and in need of mental health assistance.

I work with primarily adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression and lasting impact of trauma. I have particular focus on supporting individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse, coercive control and high conflict relationships, including the stress that can come with separations or divorce

I am a tenured psychotherapist who has been licensed for 19+ years, and I have experience in a variety of behavioral and mental health settings. I have been trained in many modalities of psychotherapy, and my passion is to see people heal by connecting them with their own strengths and natural abilities to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

I'm Dr. Joyce Thomas-Campbell, and I've spent more than 40 years walking alongside people through some of life's most tender and difficult seasons. My career has taken me from directing counseling and student support programs at Paul Quinn College, to leading Communities in Schools, to years of counseling at Texas State Technical College. Along the way, I also founded Empowering a Better You, because I believe deeply that everyone has the capacity to grow into a stronger, fuller version of themselves.

What all those years have taught me is simple: people don't need to be fixed, they need to be heard. I bring warmth, honesty, and a good deal of lived wisdom to every conversation. I'm the kind of person who will listen closely, tell you the truth kindly, and stay in your corner. Outside of my work, I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, so I understand family, love, loss, and resilience not just as a counselor but as someone who has lived it. I also stay current with the latest in the field through ongoing training each year, because you deserve care that's both seasoned and up to date.

I help you make sense of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and find practical strategies that actually fit your life. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative, with a balance of reflection and action. Together, we’ll get clear on what’s getting in the way and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and meaningful for you.
