Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Centreville, VA


I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • Haymarket, VA


Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.

I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.

I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.
