Getting to know Sylvia Joyner

My name is Sylvia Joyner, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, East Bay. I work with clients statewide via telehealth, focusing on adult women facing challenges with relationships, life transitions, intimate partner violence, child abuse, parenting, grief, depression, and anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), my work has helped clients heal and progress toward living a more fulfilled, empowered, and purposeful life. My approach I use a trauma-informed, strength-based, non-judgmental, and holistic approach in working with you. I respect that you are the expert on the goals and direction for your life, and I encourage a strong alliance of partnership and trust. Witnessing your success is the greatest outcome of our work together. My focus With over 30 years of experience in Child Welfare, I have assessed, assisted, and trained families in crisis dealing with child abuse, neglect, and abandonment. This work has deepened my compassion and commitment to supporting adult women who have experienced significant trauma. I have successfully worked with women facing intimate partner violence, boundary setting, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, parenting struggles, homelessness, grief, shame, depression, and anxiety. My communication style It is important to me that you feel safe during our sessions. Your experience with me will be comfortable, calm, relaxed, and at times humorous, with a pace directed by you. I work patiently to build a trusting, non-judgmental relationship focused on your needs. My journey to therapy As a mature African American woman with significant life, professional, and personal experiences, I am drawn to therapy because I have a wealth of knowledge, skill, and talent to share in helping others.
