“I really appreciated the way Joy kept reaffirming that I need to do things for myself and that I am not as bad as I may think I am when it comes to how I've been feeling and managing those feelings.”

Getting to know Joy Watkins

Healing and restoring individuals and couples as a Therapist and Consultant specializing in Mental Health and Substance Abuse for over 20 years. I have worked extensively with adults, adolescents, teens, and young adults. I specialize in CBT Therapy, CBT Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Domestic Violence, and Strengths-Based Therapy. For individuals or couples experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, fears, or any other mental health issues, I can assist you in combating these challenges that affect your daily life using a strengths-based approach. My specialties include depression, anxiety, impulse control, postpartum depression, prenatal loss, as well as grief and loss. Infidelity and communication issues in relationships are also areas of focus for me. I understand the pain and suffering that come with deep feelings of sadness from everyday life events, losing a child, parents, siblings, or friends. I also recognize the anxiousness and uncertainty about how to feel somewhat normal again or how to bond with your child after birth. I am here to guide you through the healing process of depression, grief, and loss. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Springfield College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate and effective care.
