Joy A Smetzer

LPC

Therapist

Hi, I’m Joy.

My therapeutic style is casual, authentic, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we will focus on self-empowerment, building deep insights, and cultivating the resilience you need to handle life’s challenges. 

I work with teens and adults who may be feeling off balance or navigating life transitions, relationship ups and downs, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or burnout.  I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome you exactly as you are.   

I draw from evidence-based practices tailored to your specific needs. I combine the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with the psychological flexibility of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We will also incorporate mindfulness practices and positive psychology to help you build personal insight, stay grounded in the present, and live a life aligned with what matters most to you.

You deserve a safe place to take a breath, heal, and grow. Let's work together so you can truly thrive.
