Getting to know Joy McClellan
I provide Integrative trauma therapy, an approach to treating trauma that combines various therapeutic techniques and modalities to address the complex and multifaceted nature of trauma and its effects on individuals. This approach recognizes that trauma can impact a person's mental, emotional, physical, and relational well-being, aiming to provide comprehensive and holistic support. I hold a Doctor of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Master's in Social Work from Barry University, which inform my practice and commitment to effective, compassionate care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Here are some common outcomes clients can expect to achieve from trauma therapy:
1. **Emotional Regulation:** Clients will learn strategies to better manage their emotions, including techniques for coping with anxiety, anger, sadness, and other intense feelings that often result from trauma.
2. **Trauma Processing:** Clients can expect to explore and process the traumatic events they have experienced. This may involve discussing and understanding the traumatic memories, thoughts, and emotions associated with them.
3. **Symptom Reduction:** Many clients experience symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and insomnia following trauma. Trauma therapy aims to reduce or eliminate these distressing symptoms.
4. **Increased Self-awareness:** Clients will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how trauma has affected their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. This self-awareness can be empowering and lead to personal growth.
5. **Improved Coping Skills:** Therapists will teach clients healthy coping strategies to replace maladaptive ones that may have developed as a result of trauma. This can include mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and problem-solving skills.
6. **Enhanced Resilience:** Clients can develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, through therapy. They will learn how to better adapt to stressors and challenges in life.
7. **Strengthened Relationships:** Trauma often affects personal relationships. Through therapy, clients can work on improving communication, trust, and intimacy in their relationships.
8. **Empowerment:** Clients may gain a sense of empowerment and control over their lives as they work through their trauma. This can lead to increased self-confidence and a greater sense of agency.
9. **Reduced Shame and Guilt:** Many trauma survivors grapple with feelings of shame or guilt related to the traumatic event. Therapy can help clients address and lessen these feelings.

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.
