Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Joy’s practice—TherapyJoyZ—offers client-centered mental health services, including individual, couples, teen and family therapy as well as psychological and legal evaluations. TherapyJoyZ specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and cultural adaptation, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

TherapyJoyZ is committed to providing high-quality, ethical, and compassionate care 7 days a week, 8 am - 9 pm. During the first session we will perform a biopsychosocial assessment to determine our therapeutic fit. We use evidence-based therapy methods, participate in ongoing training and continuing education, regularly review treatment progress, and follow professional and legal standards to ensure each client receives safe, effective and respectful mental health support.
