Joy Johnson (she/her). is a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at
Wake Forest University. After a fifteen-year career in healthcare administration, Joy
decided to pursue her passion of working alongside others to promote positive change
in their lives. She is committed to helping adolescents and adults from all walks of life
and has a particular passion for supporting those struggling with mood disorders,
relational issues, life transitions, grief, addiction, women’s and parenting issues, and
existential concerns.

Joy believes treatment should be adapted to the unique needs of each client. However,
she is always person-centered and strength-based in her approach. She believes
clients are the experts on themselves and sees her role as helping to remove barriers
that get in the way of clients leading their best lives. Depending on the clients’ needs
and goals, she may integrate techniques from narrative therapy, acceptance and
commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing as appropriate.
