“I've really enjoyed my sessions with Joyce. She is not pretentious, formal, or stuffy. She talks to me like another human, not some gifted expert that "knows it all." Since the start, I have found her easy to talk to and she helps me find solutions that are actually doable for me!”

Getting to know Joyce Schaum

UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. As a therapist with a Master’s in Counselor Education from McDaniel College and a Bachelor’s degree from Washington Adventist University, I use an eclectic approach, drawing from various methods to best meet your individual needs. My clients often find me relaxed, empathic, and nurturing. My style is marked by warmth, empathy, candor, and a bit of humor. I work to build a respectful, trusting environment where clients feel confident and safe discussing their issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the single most important predictor of successful therapy. My emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space in which to explore and develop insights into underlying feelings, issues, and thoughts.
