Getting to know Susan Joyner
Do you feel alone? Like the world is burning? In today's day and time, it is hard to cope with the day-to-day. We have political overwhelm as well as climate overwhelm. I hear you. I see you. I don't promise to have all of the answers, but I promise to meet you where you are as a human being. I am here to help you cope and provide a nonjudgmental and safer space to process your experiences. I will help you learn how to be present in your body and identify what subtle messages your body might be telling you. You will be the expert of your experience, and I am here as a guide. I aim to encourage and empower you to be your authentic self.
I am passionate about helping queer and gender nonconforming clients live their most authentic selves with kindness. My experience includes providing therapy to individual adults, typically in the 18-45 age range. My practice is trans-affirming, and I have experience providing Gender Affirmation Surgery letters. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity issues. I provide kink and poly/CNM-informed therapy and have both clinical and lived experience with religious trauma.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree from Furman University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You will step away from our sessions with tools to use in your daily life as well as a greater understanding of yourself. My goal is that you walk away from each session feeling empowered to be your most authentic self.
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.
