Getting to know Joetta Willis
My name is Joetta Willis, Ph.D., LMFT, and I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology from Northcentral University. My approach to therapy is client-centered because I believe in helping others help themselves. I am certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Grief Informed Professional.
My approach
I use an integrated approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are. My most common methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Additionally, I am a Christian Counselor.
My focus
I typically work with clients who have experienced trauma, including victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, physical assault, and childhood traumas. I also support many clients dealing with depression and anxiety.
My communication style
I believe in partnering with my clients and taking a journey together. I help clients discover their inner strengths, empowering them throughout the process.
My journey to therapy
I chose to become a therapist after experiencing traumatic events in my own life and being helped by a therapist. The process enlightened me, and I wanted to help others receive the same support. I love what I do, and seeing people regain control of their lives is deeply rewarding.
My goals for you
Therapy goals are set based on the client’s needs. Together, we prioritize which goals to address first.
My first session with you
In our initial session, I gather psychosocial information to better understand your strengths, challenges, and history. The first session is more like a meet and greet to establish rapport and begin building trust.
