“Every session with Joy has been a positive experience. I find that I benefit most from a more conversational based program, which allows an opportunity to discuss items I wish to work through, as well as lighter moments of just talking about interests and life happenings. Joy has been able to provide a warm, comfortable environment for me to speak, and I feel that for the first time, my working with a Psychologist is proving to be helpful. I plan to keep working with Joy for the long term.”

Getting to know Joy Hutchinson

There have been a lot of changes in the past two years. With those changes, I have witnessed an increase in depression and anxiety among those around me. If this describes you, I am here to help. I am available to support anyone looking to increase their coping skills and get back to enjoying their lives. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Widener University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective care. During sessions with me, clients can expect an inviting and trusting environment where they feel safe to engage in their therapeutic work. Sessions might include safety planning around any self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts, or changing current thought patterns using evidence-based treatment models like CBT. I know what it is like to feel out of control of your own life. Let’s work together to put you back in the driver’s seat!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will always meet clients where they are, and work as part of their team to achieve their treatment goals. I offer a nonjudgemental space to "do your work" in order to live your best life. There will be some humor sprinkled throughout sessions as well.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
