Joyce Bolender, LCSW

Joyce Bolender, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
Hello, I'm Joyce. Seeking therapy can be a little scary and, at times, overwhelming. Taking that first step will get you started on your journey to self-discovery, finding guidance, and looking at new ways to assess your life, your relationships, and your goals. Together, we will identify what is not working for you and help you get back into balance by assessing your needs and desires, setting realistic goals, finding your center, and developing your creativity in identifying what works for you. My approach is finding and using the technique that is appropriate to the situation. This can include Supportive Therapy, Adjustment Disorder Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. To me, finding balance includes how we think, how we respond, how we work toward physical and emotional health, and how we develop compassion for the spirit within each of us. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with an MSW and over 40 years in the social work field. Additionally, I am a Reiki Master, certified in Healing Touch, and a Licensed Massage Therapist. I believe that working with the whole person is the key to self-discovery. I specialize in helping clients navigate Grief and Bereavement, Life Transitions, Multicultural and Diversity Issues, Spirituality, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. We will work together to develop strategies that are tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. When I'm not working, I enjoy exploring new ways to integrate holistic practices into my life, which helps me stay grounded and connected. This personal commitment to balance and well-being is something I bring into my practice every day. So, let's begin this exciting journey together! Reach out, and let's find the path that leads to your best self.
