Getting to know Sylvia Joyner
Hello, I'm Sylvia Joyner, and I want to commend you for taking that courageous first step towards self-discovery through therapy. It's completely natural to feel some apprehension about starting this journey, but please know that you're making the right choice at the right time.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, East Bay, and my focus is on empowering adult women, just like you, to confront challenges and embrace positive transformation, particularly when dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Regardless of the concerns you bring to the table, there is always hope, and together, we can work towards a solution that suits your unique situation.
I'm deeply passionate about guiding you on your path toward personal growth and transformation. Through a holistic approach and evidence-based techniques, I aim to truly understand your perspective, your aspirations for change, and your individual circumstances. As your ally, it's important to me that we develop strategies specifically tailored to your goals, charting a course toward the transformation you desire.
Together, we can do the work needed to help you thrive.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Your comfort and safety throughout our therapeutic journey are paramount to me. My communication style is characterized by a soothing, relaxed demeanor with occasional light-hearted moments. We will progress at your pace, cultivating a positive relationship that centers around your needs. I embrace a trauma-informed, strength-based, and holistic approach to working with you. I am committed to cultivating a non-judgmental space where your expertise in shaping your life’s direction guides our work. Additionally, establishing a robust alliance built on trust is paramount, and I will nurture a collaborative partnership to achieve your desired outcomes. The ultimate fulfillment of our therapeutic journey lies in witnessing your progress and success.
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.
